Abstract
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.
