How did Crises Affect the German Job Market?
Analysis & Design: Ferdinand Kuchlmayr
Frontend: Jasmin Sarah König
In an article co-authored with Ferdinand Kuchlmayr, we analyzed how different job groups developed in the last 10 years. Our analysis is based on a large dataset of the »Bundesagentur für Arbeit«, the German federal employment agency.
In the beginning different jobs are highlighted to spark the reader’s interest. Readers are then able to choose their own job, so they can compare it to the jobs we highlight in the story - if they are a subscriber. The beginning of the story is build as a scroller, in which we highlight different job areas, which have grown or shrunk a lot in the last 10 years and explain the reasons behind these developments.
At the end of the text, the reader’s could explore the dataset on their own. They could compare up to six jobs in how they developed. The job originally chosen by them is still highlighted.
For this project, Ferdinand Kuchlmayer analyzed the data and created a design. I implemented the interactive visualization using D3.js & svelte.
