- Abstract: Understanding and potentially predicting or even controlling urban labour
markets represents a great challenge for workers and policy makers alike.
Cities are effective engines of economic growth and prosperity and incubate
complex dynamics within their labour market, and the labour markets they
support demonstrate considerable diversity. This presents a challenge to policy
makers who would like to optimise labour markets to benefit workers, promote
economic growth and manage the impact of technological change. While much
previous work has studied the economic characteristics of cities as a function
of size and examined the exposure of urban economies to automation, this has
often been from a static perspective. In this work we examine the structure of
city job networks to uncover the diffusive properties. More specifically, we
identify the occupations which are most important in promoting the diffusion of
beneficial or deleterious properties. We find that these properties vary
considerably with city size.
