• Feminist Theories of Technology (2010, background): “…in jobs that involve complex and advanced computer or computerised equipment use and ‘this gender imbalance has changed little between 1997 and 2006 (Felstead et al., 2007, p. xii).1 These sexual divisions in the labour market are proving intransigent and mean that women are largely excluded from…”

• Skills and the graduate recruitment process: Evidence from two discrete choice experiments (2015, background): “In Italy and Spain, employers’ average preference for master’s degrees does not significantly differ from that of employers in the UK, and in the Netherlands and Sweden, employers on average seem to be indifferent about the two degrees.”
• Overqualification, Job Dissatisfaction, and Increasing Dispersion in the Returns to Graduate Education (2010, methodology): “Columns 4 and 5 present direct measures of job skill use, utilising the measures reported in Felstead et al. (2007). Column 4 is the proportion of jobs requiring the use of “influence skills” – involving persuading and influencing people, teaching and instructing them, and other forms of high-level ”
• Direct participation and the quality of work (2013, unknown): “All of the analyses that follow have been weighted accordingly (for further details see Felstead et al., 2007), with weights scaled to reflect initial effective sample sizes.”
• Gender, work orientations and job satisfaction (2015, methodology): “More details about the survey can be found in Felstead et al. (2007).”
• Upgrading or Polarization? Occupational Change in Britain, Germany, Spain and Switzerland, 1990-2008 (2010, unknown): “If the quality of jobs is measured in terms of skills, results point towards unambiguous occupational upgrading for Britain (Felstead et al., 2007) and Switzerland (Sheldon, 2005).”
• Do employability skills really matter in the UK graduate labour market? The case of business and management graduates (2011, background): “For policymakers, occupational change projections (Wilson, 2001) and data on the shifting demand for skills (Felstead et al., 2007) present irrefutable evidence of a shift towards an advanced social order requiring an ever-increasing supply of highly skilled labour.”
• The Payoff to Skill in the Third Industrial Revolution1 (2013, methodology): “Although this trend is consistent with results secured in other countries ðe.g., Felstead et al. 2007Þ, it is nonetheless striking that the trend is so far-reaching as to cut across nearly all types of skills.”
