Park et al revealed large-scale associations between industries and people across the globe: (a) the large-scale organization of geo-industrial clusters in the labor flow network; each circle represents a geo-industrial cluster, with size proportional to its number of employees; the colors represent the highest-level community membership; (b-e) two examples of hierarchical sub-structures in the labor flow network are illustrated; each circle represents a firm and the bar charts show the reduction in industry and region entropy within the cluster as a proportion of the parent cluster’s entropy: (b, c) the organization of banking and financial geo-industrial clusters are affected more by industries than geography; (d, e) the geo-industrial clusters in U.S. Midwest and South region form strong geographical clusters.

Shaded gray contours outline the extent of the Local Void, while blue dots show major mass constituents (large galaxies, galaxy groups, and clusters). The curved blue lines show the derived motions of these massive objects, after removing the overall expansion of the Universe. The most important galaxy congregations are given special symbols, like the red ball identifying the Virgo Cluster. The dominant pattern of motions revealed by the orbits is a flow away from the Local Void. Image credit: University of Hawaii.
