Annual LinkedIn Report Reveals Most In-Demand Jobs

2020 Emerging Jobs Report from LinkedIn

The creation of new jobs is driven by a wide range of factors. And depending on the dominant industries in the market, some jobs are more in demand than others. The 2020 LinkedIn Emerging Jobs Report looks to find out the fastest-growing jobs around the world.

2020 Emerging Jobs Report

According to the report, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and robotics are the top sectors in many of the countries in the survey. On the blog for the report, LinkedIn says, “Artificial intelligence and robots are no longer on their way. They’ve arrived. In a big way.”

But not all of the jobs on the list are tech-related. Demand for soft skills such as communication, creativity, and collaboration will be essential. With remote/freelance workers now making up an increasingly larger percentage of the workforce, these skills will be more valuable moving forward.

However, even in these sectors technology plays an important role to optimize the job at hand. These jobs might not need AI or robotics right now, but exploring whether they will be part of your operations in the future is one way to stay ahead of your competition.

The data for the report comes from 17 countries across four continents. For the past five years, LinkedIn calculated the share of hiring and compound annual growth rate for these occupations. It then established the roles with the largest growth rate. And these are the emerging jobs for 2020.

The top emerging job in eight countries is AI Specialist, and it is also in the top 10 for another three countries. Robotics engineer is also among the top jobs in nine countries. Both of these jobs are being driven by multiple developments in today’s economy.

The Importance of Skills Upgrade for Small Business

The one constant the past couple of years amongst small business owners has been finding qualified talent. This is being driven by record-low unemployment numbers along with emerging technologies and industries. The percentage of small businesses who say they find it difficult or very difficult to get the right employee is more than half (56%).

While it may not always be possible, upgrading the skills of your workforce is one way to keep them around. This will not only ensure your employees have the right skillsets, but it will also improve your brand as an employer.

With technology evolving at faster rates, one of the best ways to keep up with the talent you need is to educate your workforce and upgrade their skills.
