- LinkedIn released its annual jobs on the rise report.
- The list ranked roles based on job growth rates using member data.
- Among the top 10 jobs were AI engineer and consultant, physical therapist, and travel advisor.
The US labor market ended 2024 on a high by adding 256,000 new jobs in December, as opposed to the 164,000 predicted.
The unemployment rate also fell to 4.1% in December from 4.2% in November.
While this hints at positive growth, economists have predicted that job seekers navigating the 2025 job market will still face challenges.
One way to keep up with an ever-changing job market is consistently upskilling, and LinkedIn’s annual jobs on the rise report provides insights into the top 25 growing professions and the skills needed to take on these roles.
The roles were ranked based on job growth rates, which were determined by compiling job titles that saw the most growth on its website between January 1, 2022, and July 31, 2024.
The report also detailed the most common skills for those jobs, which were identified using top skills listed on LinkedIn profiles of people who’d held those job titles; the median years of prior work experience for the roles; and the top locations hiring, based on “the regions that employed the largest percentage of each job title from January 1, 2024 to October 31, 2024,” according to the report.
Here are the 15 fastest-growing jobs in the US. The full list is available on LinkedIn.
