Before revision: This research develops a Machine Learning approach able to predict labor shortagesfor occupations . We compile a unique dataset that incorporates both Labor Demand and Labor Supply occupational data in Australia from 2012 to 2018.
After revision: This research develops a Machine Learning approach to predict occupational skill shortages. In addition, we demonstrate methods to analyze the underlying skill demands of occupations in shortage and the most important features for predicting skill shortages. For this work, we compile a unique dataset that incorporates both Labor Demand and Labor Supply occupational data in Australia from 2012 to 2018.
