New year... New job? Possibly.
LinkedIn scoured through its own huge database and determined "a list of the most promising jobs and in-demand skills" in 2018. In addition to that list, the site's study also highlights some stand-out trends that will, supposedly, bring Americans closer to that dream career—think: Customer is king! Technology is here to stay!
To rank each job, LinkedIn relied on five different components: salary, possibility of career advancement, number of job openings in the U.S., year-over-year growth in job openings and widespread regional availability.
