About us

The Economic Graph is a digital representation of the global economy based on over 1.2 billion members; 41,000 skills; 69 million companies; and 140,000 schools. In short: it’s all the data on LinkedIn. Through mapping every member, company, job, and school, we’re able to spot trends like talent migration, hiring rates, and in-demand skills by region. These insights help us connect people to economic opportunity in new ways. And by partnering with governments and organizations around the world, we help them better connect people to opportunities.

    This morning, we hosted AI, Work, and the Future of Global Competitiveness, in partnership with LinkedIn and as an official fringe event of London Tech Week. As AI reshapes the world of work, new jobs and skills are emerging at pace. Drawing on LinkedIn Economic Graph data and international comparisons, our speakers explored what it takes to build the competitive, future-ready economies and workforces needed to thrive in the AI era. 'The question is, how do you get people to actually use it? And how do they do it in a way that actually matters and can be measured? There's actually no one answer to this. It has to do with what you're trying to accomplish.' 💬 Blake Lawit, Chief Global Affairs and Legal Officer, LinkedIn Speakers ▪️ Blake Lawit, Chief Global Affairs and Legal Officer, LinkedIn ▪️ Carl Benedikt Frey, Dieter Schwarz Associate Professor of AI & Work, Oxford Internet Institute, University of Oxford ▪️ Baroness Minouche Shafik, Chief Economic Adviser to the Prime Minister, United Kingdom Chair ▪️ Stephanie Flanders, Head of Economics and Government, Bloomberg News Find out more 🔗https://lnkd.in/eUvTDPrP #ChathamHouse #AI #FutureOfWork #LinkedIn

    Every conversation I’m having right now comes back to the same thing: The economy is uncertain. AI is moving fast. And workforce planning has never felt harder. That’s why we’ve just released a new report on the European labour market drawing insights from LinkedIn's Economic Graph’s on hiring, skills, and job transitions across Europe. Our data shows a nuanced and evolving picture of opportunity and risk for the European workforce in the age of AI. A few findings that stood out to me: • Hiring is 26%  below pre-pandemic levels in the EU, driven largely by broader economic conditions rather than AI. • Small businesses are proving remarkably resilient, with hiring at firms of 1–10 employees up 13% in the EU since 2019. • AI-related jobs continue to grow – more than 256,000 of them have been created in the EU in the last two years – and hiring for AI engineering talent is outpacing the workforce average by 25%. But the bigger story is how rapidly AI is changing the skills people need and how work gets done. Half of global executives tell us they have a workforce blind spot around the future roles and skills their organisations will need, and 8 in 10 say they face pressure to move faster on AI than they can measure the impact. For me, the message is urgency and opportunity. The decisions business leaders and policymakers make now in investing in skills and adaptability will shape whether Europe can compete in the age of AI. You can explore the full findings in the report linked below in the comments.

  • Hiring is down across the EU and UK. AI jobs are growing. But that’s not the full story. New LinkedIn data shows a more complex shift: • Hiring is still ~25% below pre‑pandemic levels in the EU and UK, driven by macro pressure and business uncertainty • Small businesses are driving job creation, with hiring up 44% in the UK and 13% in the EU at the smallest firms of 1–10 employees since 2019 • We’re not seeing AI hiring shocks yet, but AI is changing where opportunity is emerging, with 256K+ across the EU and 95K+ new AI-related roles in the UK  in the last two years. If you're shaping workforce or policy strategy, these are signals worth paying attention to. Take a closer look ⬇️

  • The AI transition isn’t coming, it’s already here – and the biggest barrier to progress isn’t technology. It’s workforce readiness. While AI adoption could unlock trillions in economic value, the U.S. faces a growing skills gap: - Less than 1% of workers report AI technical skills - Only 14% of workers receive formal AI training at work. - Over six in ten businesses cite shortages in AI technical skills and AI literacy skills as major barriers to adoption The U.S. Workforce Imperative takes a closer look at what that means for the U.S. economy and what leaders can do to accelerate responsible, inclusive adoption. 📄 Read the full report (check out the link in the comments below).

    Spent time last week at LinkedIn’s San Francisco office with a room full of founders and the conversation matched exactly what we’re seeing in the data. In some ways there's a real shift in how ideas are tested and scaled and in other ways these features have always been fundamental to SF and Silicon Valley: ➡️ AI is lowering the barrier to start a business (much like cloud computing did in 2005) ➡️ Founders are emphasizing skills-based hiring as they grow their teams ➡️ Networks remain critical to hiring and raising capital (company/startup spinoffs are characteristic of the power of networks) See our article on entrepreneurship in the Bay Area: aka.ms/SFFounders2026

  • As energy prices surge, the global labor market is losing momentum, with hiring pulling back across regions, sectors, and firm sizes. In the latest edition of the State of the Labor Market, Kory Kantenga, Ph.D. breaks down how shifting demand and job-seeking behavior are reshaping conditions worldwide, including why: - Hiring momentum weakened broadly in April, with year-over-year declines across the U.S., UK, and Europe. 🌎 - Healthcare remains the key outlier, even as momentum cools alongside the broader market. 🏥 - Technology is stabilizing, but at low levels, with hiring still –31% vs February 2020, even as the pace of decline moderates. 💻 Read the full breakdown in the newsletter 👇

    In baseball, timing is everything. And same is true for business growth right now. That made Yankee Stadium the perfect place to host LinkedIn’s first Industry Summit, where I spoke about opportunities and challenges in light of today's economic outlook. What the data shows is clear: the companies pulling ahead aren’t waiting for uncertainty to resolve or conditions to improve. They’re investing in technology, adaptability, and the skills needed to make the most of those investments, which is exactly what we see in LinkedIn’s 2026 Top Companies list. In sports and in business, hesitation costs you. Clarity – about where to build skills, grow talent, and create momentum – is what helps you win ⚾ Take a look at LinkedIn’s 10th annual Top Companies list via the link in the comments, and share how you’re creating opportunity in your organization. And a big thanks to Karin Levi and Jamila Smith-Dell for making this LinkedIn for Sales event a success!
