In an effort to help our members navigate their careers, we're launching the new monthly LinkedIn Workforce Report, which looks at nationwide workforce trends, and city workforce trends in 10 of the largest U.S. cities: Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, New York City, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Seattle, and Washington, D.C.

The report is written specifically for workers so they can make more informed career decisions.

The data - based on information members add to their LinkedIn profiles - provides valuable insights on:

  • How much hiring is increasing or decreasing across the United States and, cities, and industries
  • Which skills cities need the most
  • Where workers are moving to and from

Here are some of our key findings:

  • Hiring up two months in a row: Hiring across the U.S. was 11.4% higher in January 2017 than January 2016.
  • Service-industry skills wanted: San Francisco and Washington. D.C. have the largest skills gaps -mismatches between the skills employers need (demand) and the skills workers have (supply) - among workers with nursing, education and teaching skills.
  • The great outdoors and lower cost of living: Seattle, Portland, Austin, Denver, and Charlotte gained the most workers in the last 12 months.
