Estimation of workforce skill misalignments using social networks are described herein. A selection of geographical regions and a skill cluster is received from a computing device. For a respective geographical region, a respective supply for the selected skill cluster is calculated as a first respective standardized score corresponding to a first respective percentage of skilled members in the respective geographical region whose respective member profile indicates possession of the selected skill cluster. For a respective geographical region, a respective demand for the selected skill cluster is calculated as a second respective standardized score corresponding to a second respective percentage of job-switching members in the respective geographical region whose respective member profile indicates possession of the selected skill cluster. For a respective geographical region, a respective skills misalignment for the selected skill cluster is calculated as the respective difference between the respective demand and the respective supply.

Estimating workforce skill misalignments using social networks

This disclosure is directed to a social networking server that includes different engines and databases to support the generation of visually meaningful electronic presentations that present member-provided data in one or more graphical and understandable charts and graphs. An electronic presentation includes one or more electronic documents where various ones of the electronic documents are generated from templates that specify the 'look-and-feel' for a given type of electronic document. Rather than having to manually enter and design graphs and charts to present member-provided data in a meaningful way, the social networking server leverages the stored electronic document templates to create these charts and graphs. However, as there may be multiple systems involved in creating a given type of chart or graph, the social networking server is tasked with coordinating the efforts of these different systems.
