List Methodology
LinkedIn Economic Graph researchers examined millions of jobs started by LinkedIn members from January 1, 2019 to July 31, 2023 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 2023. 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.
Hybrid job availability is based on jobs posted from October 2022 to October 2023 flagged as “remote” or “hybrid” by the poster or containing similar keywords. Most common skills were derived from the top skills most unique to each title among members who have ever held that title on LinkedIn. Median 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. Most common industries are based on the industry of the companies that hired the highest number of members for each job from January 1, 2023 to July 31, 2023. 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 categorized as the regions or cities that employed the largest percentage of each job title from January 1, 2023 to July 31, 2023. Most common transitions were identified by the share of transitions from another occupation into the featured job in the past 5 years.

10 个月Increasingly more skills are becoming less relevant with the rise of AI, leaving soft skills and analytical skills as the key "human" skills to possess and develop. Also, our changing environment is asking for professionals and leaders who have a win-win mindset, thereby looking beyond (short-term) financial profits and focusing on sustainability. I see many professionals and leaders looking for roles that are meaningful and fulfilling, in which they can contribute their unique value AND feel passionate about what they do.

These roles, crucial for developing AI models and frameworks, require a profound understanding of AI technologies such as deep learning. What makes these roles particularly challenging and unique is their demand for a balanced blend of technical expertise and business insight. These professionals are expected to integrate AI solutions into business strategies, making it essential for them to comprehend the broader business context. This aligns with the data showing a significant shift in skill sets required for jobs influenced heavily by AI and automation.

Their ability to navigate both the technical intricacies of AI and the strategic business implications makes them critical assets in leveraging AI for business growth and innovation.
