Occupation locations of (A) \({\mathcal{N}}_{S}\) and (B) \({\mathcal{N}}_{T}\) within the full skills network \(\mathcal{G}.\) Here the starting occupation S is “Waiters and Waitresses” and the target occupation T is “Computer User Support Specialist”. Skills present in \({\mathcal{N}}_{S}\) and \({\mathcal{N}}_{T}\) are highlighted while those absent are greyed out. Though negative link values are used to calculate occupational proximity \({P}_{S\to T}\), they are excluded from these visualizations, which were rendered in Pajek using the Kamada-Kawaii algorithm
