The 2024 LinkedIn Jobs on the Rise list reveals the fastest-growing professions in the U.S. over the past five years and the trends defining the future world of work.
The world of work is changing — from how and where we get our jobs done to the skills needed to get ahead. LinkedIn data shows that skill sets for jobs have changed 25% since 2015 and are projected to shift by 65% by 2030 globally. Meanwhile, the acceleration of artificial intelligence and automation has created new opportunities and challenges for workers and companies alike.
