Urbanization is considered as one of the major indicators of development. Three interlinked concepts are associated with urbanization - demographic phenomena, structural change in society, urbanization as a behavioral process. Urban economies are composed of diverse activities, embodied in labor occupations, which depend on one another to produce goods and services. Very little is known about how the nature and intensity of these interdependences change with the increase in population size and expansion of economic activities with complexity. Understanding the relationship between occupational interdependencies and the number of occupations defining an urban economy is relevant because interdependence within a networked system has implications for system resilience and for how easily can the structure of the economic functions can be modified. In the present study it has been tried to search the interdependencies among occupations in Contai urban area where the strengths of interdependence between pairs of occupations determine the strengths of the links in the occupational network and thereby identify the influence these networks on economic status of the people living in that urban area. Using those quantified link strengths we can calculate the number of unique occupations present in an urban workforce. Data collected through primary survey and from secondary sources have been used to create occupational network and then measure link weight of each occupational network and how many people are actually engaged with or employed to this occupation and finally the study findings reveal a super linear relationship between occupational structure and economic status of the people.
