Causal-jobs is a project dedicated to revealing the status of causal inference in the European job market. It is based on automatically parsing job alert emails generated by “causal inference” as a search term.

Since May 12, 2022, every EU vacancy that contains this term is extracted from the corresponding email, transformed into an analysis-ready dataframe, and loaded into a postgresql database living in a Docker container. This is done via an ETL pipeline that runs daily. Once a week, a html report is then automatically generated by analyzing the data and deployed on GitHub pages. The report contains the latest causal-jobs vacancies, as well as company names and other relevant info.

The GitHub repo also contains a step-by-step guide in case you would like to set up your own causal-jobs project, e.g. to change the analysis, focus on another region or even consider another search term. And for the latest insights, check the report!
