Jobseekers could see a more cautious, competitive labor market in 2024 as employers slow hiring and hand out smaller raises — but some roles offer brighter prospects than others.
Chief growth officer, sustainability analyst and artificial intelligence consultant are among the most in-demand roles companies are hiring for in the U.S., according to new research from LinkedIn.
On Wednesday, LinkedIn released its annual Jobs on the Rise list highlighting the 25 fastest-growing occupations over the last five years, based on the job titles that saw the most growth on its website between January 2019 and July 2023.
