Job Growth Remains High in 2017: LinkedIn Workforce Report March 2017

Big cities need more teachers, doctors, and nurses. We track skills gaps (a mismatch between the skills employers need - demand - and the skills workers have - supply) in 10 of the biggest U.S. cities. San Francisco, Washington, D.C., and Houston have the biggest skills gaps, which are largely due to a scarcity of workers with service-industry skills. In February we took a closer look and discovered that the most scarce service-industry skills are in healthcare management and education and teaching. Workers with healthcare management skills - like primary care, medical billing, and health education - are in scarcity in nine of the cities. And workers with education and teaching skills - like lesson planning, lecturing, and e-learning - are in scarcity in six of the cities. If you have these skills, and are looking for a new gig, check out our City Reports for Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, New York City, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Seattle, and Washington, D.C. to see which cities need you most.

Those are a few of the highlights from this month's LinkedIn Workforce Report. To see all the insights, check out the full report.
