After being extracted, job postings are processed and classified into standard statistical classifications:

• NUTS for the territorial level: the NUTS (Nomenclature des Unités territoriales Statistiques) classification is standardised across all EU countries to enable cross-country comparison.

• NACE for the economic sector: the NACE (Statistical Classification of Economic Activities in the European Community) taxonomy is the classification of economic activities or industries in the European Union.

• ISCED for educational levels: the ISCED (International Standard Classification of Education) taxonomy provides a comprehensive framework for organising education programmes and qualifications by applying uniform and internationally agreed on definitions to facilitate comparisons of education systems across countries.

• ISCO (International Standard Classification of Occupations) for occupations. The ESCO Occupation taxonomy covers 436 unique occupations.

• LOT (Lightcast Occupation Taxonomy - https://lightcast.io/resources/blog/new-occupation-taxonomy ) is a proprietary taxonomy composed of 4 different levels: Career Area, Occupation Group, Occupation and Specialised Occupation. The specialised Occupations (1,900 occupations) within the taxonomy identify roles that are the same, across employers and geographies, regardless of job title.

• Lightcast Skill Taxonomy is a proprietary taxonomy composed of 3 different level: Skills categories, Skills sub-categories, and Skills. More information are available here https://lightcast.io/open-skills 

Benefits of Lightcast Taxonomies:

• Granular: The Lightcast Taxonomies provide significantly more granularity than federal or national taxonomies, while maintaining a level of aggregation that allows robust analysis. Users can examine the specific skill requirements of a given role.
• Responsive: The Lightcast Skill Taxonomy is updated every two weeks – meaning we can capture new, emerging skills as they formalise in the economy.
