  • LinkedIn Principal Economist Guy Berger recently announced the company’s third-annual “LinkedIn Emerging Jobs Report.” These are the details.

LinkedIn Principal Economist Guy Berger, Ph.D. recently announced the company’s third-annual “LinkedIn Emerging Jobs Report.” This report highlights the fastest-growing jobs around the world, the skills associated with them, and the cities and industries where these jobs are located.

In the coming weeks, LinkedIn is also going to share insights by country to dig deeper into workforce trends around the world. The insights will show you how jobs, careers, and skills are changing so that you can explore the right next steps.

Berger pointed out that artificial intelligence (AI) continues to make a strong showing on its Emerging Jobs lists, which does not come as a surprise.

“Many jobs that have risen up as a result of AI in fields like cybersecurity and data science and because it’s is so pervasive many roles may demand more knowledge of AI than you may think. For example, real estate and business development roles. If you’re new to AI or want to sharpen up your skills, check out the latest courses at LinkedIn Learning, such as an Introduction to AI,” wrote Berger.

Many professionals are on the move due to factors like housing costs, political/regulatory change, or more flexibility with remote work opportunities. And there are cities around the world that are emerging as strong job markets that may offer more jobs and a better quality of life. In the U.S., cities such as Austin, Raleigh, and Portland are among some of the cities attracting the most professionals holding emerging jobs.

And if you are considering relocating, then you can see the average salary across regions for job titles using the LinkedIn Salary tool. Or you can search for “remote” work on LinkedIn if you are seeking more flexibility.

The demand for soft skills is likely going to increase as automation becomes more widespread. And skills such as communication, creativity, and collaboration are impossible to automate, which means you will be even more valuable to organizations in the future if you have those skills.
