LinkedIn Jobs on the Rise 2025: The 10 fastest-growing roles in Philadelphia

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.

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. ?

2 周Insightful summary and interesting list of roles in the region. Tech staffing is all I do at firstPRO and even though most of these roles are NOT IT, all touch tech and will likely have trickle down effects into staffing related needs. Just good overall seeing hiring across the board is climbing upwards in 2025. #firstPRO

1 个月I guess this list is primarily all business focused opportunities. But having my parents and elderly relatives in assisted living communities, I can tell you there is a severe shortage of qualified nurses and aides to care for the elderly. This is a sad and alarming situation that there are not enough qualified, reliable or quality caring workers willing to work in a high growth industry where the pay has not been commensurate with the demand.
