Karpathy Jobs Bls Visualizer

This is Andrej Karpathy's research tool for exploring Bureau of Labor Statistics data across 342 occupations with an interactive D3.js treemap. The real power is the scoring pipeline: write a custom prompt (like "how exposed is this job to humanoid robotics"), run it through an LLM via OpenRouter, and get a new color layer on the visualization. It ships with full BLS scraping utilities, markdown parsers, and an AI exposure baseline, but the architecture is built for forking. You get cached HTML, structured CSVs, and a single-file frontend you can extend. Use it when you want to ask quantitative questions about the job market that combine official stats with LLM reasoning, or when you need a template for building custom data scoring pipelines.

karpathy/jobs — BLS Job Market Visualizer

Skill by ara.so — Daily 2026 Skills collection.

A research tool for visually exploring Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Outlook Handbook data across 342 occupations. The interactive treemap colors rectangles by employment size (area) and any chosen metric (color): BLS growth outlook, median pay, education requirements, or LLM-scored AI exposure. The pipeline is fully forkable — write a new prompt, re-run scoring, get a new color layer.

Live demo: karpathy.ai/jobs

Installation & Setup

# Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/karpathy/jobs
