LinkedIn Jobs on the Rise 2025: The 10 fastest-growing roles in Los Angeles
Today we unveil our annual list of Jobs on the Rise in Los Angeles, a data-backed ranking of the 10 fastest-growing jobs over the past three years in the greater Los Angeles area.
Whether it’s engineering or aviation, the ranking reveals sectors with sustainable growth locally in today’s evolving world of work. While the metrics used are the same as our U.S. Jobs on the Rise list, the methodology slightly differs, reflecting activity at the local city level instead of the country (you can read more at the bottom of this article).?
The list is a roadmap that can point you in the right direction at any stage of your career. Under each job title, you can explore the most common skills, top industries, remote and hybrid availability and more. And you can turn those insights into action by exploring open roles or honing your skills through LinkedIn Learning courses (free for all members until Feb. 15).??

List Methodology
LinkedIn Economic Graph researchers examined millions of jobs started by LinkedIn members from January 1, 2022 to July 31, 2024 to calculate a growth rate for each job title. To be ranked, a job title needed to see positive growth across our membership base and sufficient job postings in the past year, as well as have grown to a meaningful size by 2024. 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 city 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 city.
Flexible work availability is based on jobs posted from November 2023 to November 2024 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. Most common industries are based on the industry of the companies that hired the highest number of members for each job from January 1, 2024 to October 31, 2024. 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.

4 周A surprise on here is the engineering geologist. But I can see why that makes sense. And the other of note is that entertainment does not make the list. That is discouraging for a town that has so many people reliant upon that industry.

1 个月This article misses key job surges driven by recent events, particularly the devastating January 2025 wildfires. The destruction of over 12,000 structures has created urgent demand for construction workers, insurance adjusters, and real estate professionals, as well as healthcare and social service workers to support displaced residents. Beyond disaster recovery, Los Angeles' shifting demographics—driven by a younger population seeking sustainable, tech-integrated housing—suggest rising demand for green construction and smart home technology jobs. While LinkedIn captures important trends, a broader look at economic and environmental shifts is crucial for understanding Los Angeles's evolving job market.
