Abstract
A comparatively simple method of uncovering the deep structure of career lines from job history data is described. Key decisions in the construction of the programming algorithm are related to substantive and theoretical ideas. Illustrations of the use of the method are offered, based on blue collar job histories from an American and a Dutch firm. Advantages, drawbacks and other applications of the program are discussed.
