JobLocationMapper

JobLocationMapper is a Python project that visualizes the geographical locations of job listings on a map. This tool visualizes job opportunities by mapping city and state information on an interactive map, making it more accessible and visually appealing. Additionally, each job listing is color-coded based on its occupation category, allowing users to easily distinguish between different fields of job opportunities.

Features

• Geographical Location Visualization
  Job listings are visualized on the map based on their city and state information. Each job listing is placed on the map at the correct geographical location.

• Color-Coded Markers by Job Category
  Job listings are color-coded according to their occupation category:

  • Software jobs are marked with blue
  • Marketing jobs are marked with green
  • Design jobs are marked with red

• Geocoding
  City and state information is converted into geographical coordinates (latitude, longitude) using a geocoding service, and placed on the map at the correct location.

• Clustered Markers
  Job listings that appear in the same location are grouped together on the map, offering a more organized and cleaner appearance.

• Interactive Map
  Users can click on markers on the map to view details such as job titles and location information.

Requirements

To run this project, you'll need the following Python libraries:

• pandas : For data manipulation and processing
• folium : For map visualization
• geopy : For geocoding (location resolution)

Install Dependencies

To install all the required Python libraries, run the following command:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Running the Project

Clone the repository from GitHub:

• git clone https://github.com/deliprofesor/JobLocationMapper.git

After cloning, install the necessary dependencies:

• pip install -r requirements.txt

Prepare your job_dataset.csv file:

This file should contain necessary information about job listings, such as city, state, job titles, and other relevant data.

Run the job_locator.py script to generate the map:

• python job_locator.py

The map will be saved as india_job_location_map_with_categories.html. Open this file in a web browser to start exploring the job listings on the map.

Usage

The project visualizes job listings on the map and categorizes them by profession:

Occupation Categories Job listings are color-coded based on their occupation categories such as Software, Marketing, and Design. These colors help users easily identify different types of job opportunities:

Software (Developer) jobs are marked in blue Marketing jobs are marked in green Design jobs are marked in red Job Listing Information Clicking on a job listing on the map will display the job title and location information. Users can learn more about each job opportunity as they explore the map.

Map Visualization

The map is designed to visualize job listings in India, but it can easily be adapted to display listings from other geographical regions.
