Distinguishing the Job Market Across Aerospace and Aviation: A Natural Language Processing Approach

Abstract

This study dives into the intricate landscape of the aerospace and aviation job market. While these two markets are often conflated as being similar, if not the same, we propose that the differences are important to recent graduates of educational institutions and career programs. The research utilized a custom-written Natural Language Processing (NLP) software tool to distinguish the differences in 6,000 job offerings between the two industries with the hope of illuminating nuances to those in positions involved in placing professionals into careers. This research not only reveals the dynamic employment landscape of aerospace and aviation but also highlights the power of NLP in more clearly discerning emerging trends in job data.
