LinkedIn publishes a new report on the most in-demand skills based on analyzing job postings. The top 20 skills are featured in 78% of postings.<\/p>\n

Data in the report was compiled over the past three months and compared with the top skills professionals had in 2015.<\/p>\n

LinkedIn finds that job skill sets have changed by around 25% since 2015 and are expected to change by 41% by 2025.<\/p>\n

Digital marketing is high on the list of most in-demand skills. Social media marketing made the list too.<\/p>\n

The list is separated into hard skills and soft skills, with hard skills making up over half the list.<\/p>\n

To help people build up these in-demand skills, LinkedIn is making several premium courses free for the month of September.<\/p>\n

Learning in-demand skills can help ensure your access to new job opportunities and help you future-proof your career<\/p>\n
