This pap er introduces a novel network framework to analyze how the structure of ski ll frictions shapes labor reallocation dynamics. Using expert data\, I cons truct an occupation network where links capture feasible transitions based on shared skills. This network is sparse and clustered\, with a few critica l “bridge occupations” connecting otherwise separate clusters of occupa tions. Leveraging French administrative data\, I show that workers transiti oning through these bridges reach higher-wage\, lower-unemployment occupati ons. Next\, I develop a job-search model embedded in this occupation networ k and find that bridge occupations disproportionately influence overall rea llocation speed. Quantitatively\, the model predicts that robot adoption in duces a slow reallocation process—lasting around ten years—and reduces welfare gains by 40%\, an order of magnitude higher than previous estimates . Policies targeting bridge occupations significantly accelerate reallocati on\, outperforming interventions focused on expanding sectors. These findin gs highlight the crucial role of occupation networks in shaping labor marke t adjustments and provide new insights for policy design.\\n\\nContact: Jia kun Zheng : jiakun.zheng[at]univ-amu.fr\n\nPlus d'informations: https://ww w.amse-aixmarseille.fr/fr/evenements/leonard-bocquet LOCATION:Îlot Bernard du Bois - Salle 17\, AMU - AMSE\, 5-9 boulevard Maur ice Bourdet\, 13001 Marseille URL;VALUE=URI:https://www.amse-aixmarseille.fr/fr/evenements/leonard-bocquet CONTACT:Jiakun Zheng : \;jiakun.zheng[at]univ-amu.fr TRANSP:OPAQUE END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
