In determining the Jobs on the Rise, LinkedIn Economic Graph researchers analysed millions of jobs initiated by members from January 1, 2019, to July 31, 2023, ensuring consistent growth and meaningful size. The rankings grouped identical job titles across different seniority levels and excluded internships, volunteer positions, interim roles, and student positions, as well as jobs dominated by a small number of companies in each country. Additional data points for each job title were derived from LinkedIn profiles and open job listings.
