Job hunting is never easy, but what if data could be used to make the process a little less stressful?
Companies such as LinkedIn and Monster, com hold vast amounts of information on people’s professional lives, but there is one organization that surpasses them all: the federal government. Although rich and comprehensive, government labor data can often be hard to access, bound by red tape and cloaked in jargon.
"With today’s technologies, we can do a lot more to build open data sets for skills," said Aneesh Chopra, the White House’s first chief technology officer and founder of Arlington-based start-up Hunch Analytics. During his tenure, Chopra’s role involved making government data more accessible. It’s a mission he has continued after his departure, assembling a band of public officials, tech entrepreneurs and think-tank analysts whose focus is firmly on the labor market.
A robust economic recovery tempered by flat wages has reinforced the need to connect Americans with higher-paying technology jobs, according to the White House. That was the rationale behind the President’s new initiative, announced last week, to train and hire Americans for more than 500,000 unfilled information technology jobs through partnerships with local communities.
" There’s not a standard, real-time, modern way to identify all the skills our economy needs in play today. Workforce and talent planners have a daunting job in ensuring they have a ’ ready-now’ workforce, so the more data they can get, the better informed they are. " said Leighanne Levensaler, senior vice president of products at Workday, a human resources software company that was involved in the project.
The closest thing to a standard national database is the Labor Department’s Occupational Information Network Website, known as O * Net. Built in the 1990s, the site compiles data on more than 900 occupations, with details about job skills, average compensation and a search tool to find jobs by state. But although the site is continually updated, it has been slow to keep pace with the changing job market, according to Chopra and Levensaler.
A push to modernize O * Net is the group’s next big undertaking. The President’s 2016 budget proposal includes a $ 5 million request to study and test approaches " to modernize and potentially streamline data collection" for O * Net. The measure seeks to provide " up-to-date coverage of occupations and skills, particularly for high-growth, changing industries." Chopra convened a roundtable of government officials, academics and private-sector executives last month to discuss measures to improve O * Net. Workday and Linkedln are among the companies interested in the effort— which is still at a conceptual stage, Chopra said.
To open-data advocates such as Chopra, there’s no better time to harness the power of information for the economy. "No one company, no matter how amazing they are, has the capacity to get every employer in America to open up their skills data for every job posting," he said. " The government has the capacity to convene stakeholders to open up the data. "
We can infer from the passage that O * Net______.
选项
A、functions as a standard national database
B、tries to compile the change of job data
C、gets financial support from the government
D、attracts companies into the update project
答案
B
解析
推理判断题。定位句指出,O*Net目前还跟不上劳动力市场的变化情况,而政府有意采取措施改进,目的就是使其能够及时涵盖行业与技能信息。可见,O*Net努力要整合职业数据,故答案为B)。A)“发挥着全国标准数据库的作用”,文章第六段第一句提到,O*Net是最接近于全国标准数据库的网站,可见,它暂时还不具备这个功能,故排除;C)“从政府获得财政支持”,文章第七段第二句提到,2016年总统预算有财政支持的意向,但现在还没有实施,故排除;D)“吸引公司加人升级项目”,第七段最后一句虽然提到有公司对这个项目感兴趣,但还只停留在概念层面,可见并没有加入,故排除。
