    As we kick off the back half of the year, let’s take a closer look at what our data is telling us about job competition and where opportunities may reside. By our measure, the labor market is significantly less tight than only a few years ago, and that means there’s far more competition amongst professionals for the available jobs around the globe. For example, in the US from June 2023 to June 2025, the number of applicants per job has increased by nearly 20%. However, we’ve seen conditions improve for US job seekers so far this year, with competition amongst seekers declining 9% since January. So while still a challenging labor market, things are trending in a better direction. And while we expect competition to remain, there are opportunities out there. It’s just about knowing where to look. We’re seeing increasing opportunities across industries such as retail, healthcare, finance and construction to name a few. See the video for more insights around where opportunities reside from my conversation with Aaron "Ronnie" Chatterji at the OpenAI Forum as well as our latest State of the Labor Market newsletter from Kory Kantenga, Ph.D.of LinkedIn's Economic Graph team. https://lnkd.in/gvSVmK27

  • June brought record-breaking temperatures 🌡️ — but the labor market continues to cool 🥶. In the latest issue of State of the Labor Market, Kory Kantenga, Ph.D. explores what’s driving this slowdown — and where momentum might emerge. Key takeaways: 📌 Global labor markets have stabilized as the hiring slowdown and competition for jobs eased in the first half of 2025. 📌 Interest rates remain restrictive in the U.S., limiting labor market momentum. 📌Growth forecasts have improved slightly around the world, while Germany and Mexico still face near-zero growth. 📌 Worker confidence continues to slip, especially in advanced economies, including in the U.S. where it’s below pandemic-era levels. 📖 Dive into the this month's newsletter to learn more:

    Paris ✅ Inspiring colleagues and leaders ✅ Thoughtful conversations about AI and the future of work ✅ Did you know that AI literacy and Communication are among the top five skills on the rise in France? Global trends and statistics often have significant local impacts, so it was great to hear firsthand from nonprofit leaders in Paris how AI is reshaping roles, organizations, and possibilities. One thing is clear though: the future of work and AI won’t be shaped in isolation. It will be built through collective insight, debate, and action around the world. And of course, everything’s better in Paris especially with a croissant (or two) 🥐 #ConversationsThatMatter

    US entry-level hiring feels tough at the moment, and compared to March 2020, hiring for new grads is down 23%—more than the 18% decline in overall hiring over the same timeframe. However this isn’t a permanent state. And while there are questions around whether AI is to blame, I think it's still too early to go down that path completely. As the new technology continues to proliferate, we’re in a moment of change: an increasing urgency to upskill, the new skills that are rising to the top and the ways early in career entrants will find success more quickly. So for new grads entering the labor market during this challenging and confusing time, here’s my advice:  💡 Stay Agile: Nearly 40% of global C-suite executives prioritize ‘agility’ when considering entry-level candidates for their organizations. And over 60% of US executives agree entry-level employees bring fresh ideas and new thinking that is valuable to the growth of their organization. ⬆️ Upskill on AI: We saw a 6x increase in jobs on LinkedIn mentioning AI literacy as a desired skill throughout 2024.  ❗ Know where the opportunities reside: A few top industries for new grads range from Construction to Financial Services and Real Estate. See my video as part of the OpenAI forum for additional insights. And see the LinkedIn 2025 Grads Guide for more opportunities: https://lnkd.in/GG25US
