The pattern in the composition of employment in the last 25 years has changed: there is an increase in the employment shares of low- and high-skilled jobs, accompanied by a decrease in middle-skilled occupations. This employment trend, defined as job polarization, has been documented in various OECD countries due to automation and globalization. What are the geographical as and gender differences in the polarization of local labor markets? Why is this trend mainly a urban phenomenon?
