Content

To process these data, a random 20k adverts were selected from all waves of data from September 2021 using the "sample" function in Pandas, Python.

Following this, Adzuna lookup files pertaining to location, category_id, company_id and normalised_title_id were merged in to each advert. This means that Adzuna Teaching contains all premium Adzuna fields such as SOC, SIC and location.
