LinkedIn has published a list of the 10 best jobs in 2020, based on the number of job openings available through its platform.
LinkedIn’s Economic Graph maps over 706 million professionals across 55 million companies looking at over 11 million job listings, 36,000 skills, and 90,000 schools. Using the study, and looking at which jobs have the most job openings available LinkedIn was able to identify the ten most in-demand jobs on its platform, and the skills people need for them.
To make sure the list is relevant to people both now, and in the future, LinkedIn considers 3 criteria: Job growth over the past 4 years, whether the jobs pay a livable wage, and whether the job’s required skills can be learned online.
Each job has a number of courses attached to it. You can start learning straight away.
