This post estimates potential labor market transition pathways based on the similarity of skills, abilities and knowledge required by occupations. The approach broadly follows Bratanova et al. (2026). Like their research, the considered transition pathways are for workers currently employed as truck drivers. Unlike their approach, we've used a more recent version of the O*NET database and a different SOC-to-ANZSCO crosswalk. Although the point wasn't to precisely replicate their results, our approach largely did, with differences in similarity scores likely stemming from our different mapping of the SOC to the ANZSCO rather than from the method itself.
