Economic Graph Research Team

The Macroeconomics Research Program is a cornerstone of our research initiatives. We recognize that the labor market is a fundamental component of the global economy, influencing everything from individual livelihoods to national economic health. Utilizing LinkedIn’s vast data resources, our dedicated team of researchers delve into the complexities of labor market dynamics on a macro scale.

We examine trends in employment, workforce participation, job match, and more, and analyze how these factors interact with broader economic indicators. Our goal is to provide insights that can inform policy decisions and contribute to a more efficient and equitable labor market.

The AI & Skills Research Program focuses on the ever-evolving landscape of skills in the global workforce. In today’s rapidly changing job market, understanding the role of skills in career advancement as well as shifts in the demand and supply of skills is crucial.

Our team leverages LinkedIn’s rich data to identify emerging skills, track their growth, and understand their distribution across industries and geographies. We also study the impact of skill gaps on individuals and economies, and explore ways to bridge these gaps through education and training.

Our research aims to empower individuals to make informed career decisions and equip policymakers and educators with the insights needed to build a future-ready workforce.

Our Economic Opportunity Research Program is directly aligned with LinkedIn’s vision of creating economic opportunity for every member of the global workforce. We believe that everyone, regardless of their background, deserves equal access to economic opportunities.

Through this program, we leverage LinkedIn’s extensive data to uncover pathways to economic improvement in the job market as well as to understand the barriers that prevent individuals from realizing their full potential. We explore outcomes such as employment, leadership, networks, and occupation and industry choice. In addition to understanding these pathways across broad populations, we explore disparities between groups including educational attainment, gender, the communities people are in, race, age, and more.

Our research examines and advances LinkedIn’s vision to create economic opportunity for all members of the global workforce. We aim to improve career outcomes for workers and to foster inclusive practices through our research anchored in LinkedIn’s unique data, analyzed using best methods.
