In his day job, he works as a consultant and dealer in scandium and other exotic metals.[1] He occasionally and humorously refers to himself in his blog and articles as a member of the "international scandium oligopoly."

Two of Worstall's articles about the 7 July 2005 London bombings have been archived by the UK Web Archiving Consortium.[4]
Worstall has written regularly for the online magazine TCS Daily since May 2004.[5] In a 23 June 2005 article, he coined Worstall's Law of Organizations: "All and any organizations will in the end be run by those who stay awake in committee." [6]
In November 2005, Worstall compiled the book 2005 Blogged: Dispatches from the Blogosphere, an anthology of blogging.
Since September 2006, Worstall has been a contributor to The Philadelphia Inquirer's "Editorials & Commentary" page[7]
