LinkedIn Jobs on the Rise 2022: The 10 roles that are growing in demand in Sweden
The 2022 LinkedIn Jobs on the Rise list reveals the 10 fastest-growing job titles in Sweden over the past five years and the trends defining the future world of work.
From digitisation to hybrid offices, the world of work is changing at a rapid pace — accelerated by the Covid-19 pandemic and the necessary innovation in its wake. Industries have been upended, while at the same time, many workers have left their jobs in search of something new. These shifts have ignited what we’ve deemed the #GreatReshuffle, leaving professionals wondering where the workplace is headed and what role they want to play in it.
To put together this year’s rankings, we looked at LinkedIn data to calculate the job titles experiencing the highest growth rates from January 2017 through July 2021. To be ranked, jobs needed to see consistent growth across our membership base, as well as have grown to a meaningful size by 2021. (You can learn more about our methodology at the bottom of this article.)
This list is meant to be a resource for you. Under each job title, you’ll find insights around median years of experience prior to landing the role, top locations hiring and much more. If working remotely is non-negotiable for you, you’ll also find what remote job availability looks like in each role. And if you’re looking to jump into a new field, take a look at the necessary skills and top job transitions to discover how you can pivot your own experience. Plus, you can check out the current open jobs for the role or dig into courses to gain the skills you need — whether you're looking to make a career pivot, get back into the workforce or invest in skills that will prepare you for the future.?
Most importantly, this list goes beyond jobseekers. It’s a glimpse of what’s on the horizon: uncovering where the future of work is going and where long-term opportunities await.

Methodology
LinkedIn Economic Graph researchers examined millions of jobs started by LinkedIn members from 1 January 2017 to 31 July 2021 to calculate a growth rate for each job title. To be ranked, a job title needed to see consistent growth across our membership base, as well as have grown to a meaningful size by 2021. Identical job titles across different seniority levels were grouped and ranked together. Internships, volunteer positions, interim roles and student roles were excluded, and jobs where hiring was dominated by a small handful of companies in each country were also excluded.?
Job Insights
Additional data points for each of the job titles are based on LinkedIn profiles of members holding the title and/or open jobs for that title in the country.
Remote job postings are based on jobs posted from October 2020 to October 2021 flagged as “remote” by the poster or containing similar keywords. Skills data was derived from the top skills most unique to each title among members who have ever held that title on LinkedIn. Years of experience was calculated using the median years of work experience held prior to starting in the featured title for members hired within the methodology time frame. Gender breakdown was calculated by measuring the number of members by identified gender currently in each job (provided there was meaningful gender data) as a percentage of the total members with known gender per job. Top locations hiring were categorised as the regions or cities that employed the largest percentage of each job title in 2021. Most common transitions were identified by the share of transitions from another occupation into the featured job.?
Internships, volunteer positions, interim roles and student roles were excluded, and identical job titles across seniority levels were grouped together.
