It's difficult to navigate your career if you aren't aware of the opportunities and obstacles that lay ahead of you.

That's why we developed the LinkedIn Workforce Report. It's a new report we'll publish on a monthly basis that shows you how much hiring is increasing or decreasing across the U.S., cities, and industries; which skills cities need most; and where workers are moving to and from.

So for example, hiring across the U.S. in January was 11.4% higher than January 2016. And oil and energy is the industry that had the biggest spike in hiring in January - 23.3% more than January 2016. That means new jobs are opening up. So if your New Year's resolution is finding a new job, check out LinkedIn Jobs.

Plus, lots of people are moving to Seattle, Portland, Denver, Austin, and Charlotte. Why? All of those cities share two things in common: they're cheaper to live in than say New York or San Francisco, and they're a stone's throw from the great outdoors.
