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. "
In the last paragraph, Chopra emphasizes______.
选项
A、the importance of information technology
B、the government’s role as an organizer
C、the necessity of opening up job database
D、the limitation of all information companies
答案
B
解析
推理判断题。定位句指出,任何一个公司都没有能力将全部的职业需求信息加以整合,只有政府有能力将所有的利益相关者聚集起来。可见,乔布拉强调的是政府作为组织者的作用,故答案为B)。A)“信息技术的重要性”,文中是说乔布拉强调对信息技术的利用,而其目的仍然是整合政府数据库,因此信息技术的重要性不是强调的重点,故排除;C)“开放职业数据库的必要性”,开放数据库是乔布拉的努力方向,但最后一段主要是强调政府在此事上的作用,故排除;D)“所有信息公司的局限性”,根据句间关系,乔布拉所讲的重点是最后一句,而不是信息公司的局限性,故排除。
