Steps to reproduce

We departed from raw .TXT RAIS files obtained from the Ministry of Labor. Due to its sensitive nature, these files are not included, but researches with access to raw RAIS file can follow our pipeline to reproduce the study. Other raw data, such as stations's shapefiles, are available in the `data-raw` folder. Please refer to the `readme.html` file for further information or contact us. In addition to CRAN-listed R packages, our script used two custom packages compiled by us and available at https://github.com/baarthur/rrais and https://github.com/baarthur/spatialops/
