Here are the top 10 top growth industries, based on what LinkedIn is seeing. The one major surprise here is to see “public policy” as a growing industry — this probably overlaps, or may even be interchangeable, with the “think tank” category.
- Renewables and environment (+49%)
- Internet (+25%)
- Online publishing (+24%)
- Philanthropy (+17%)
- E-learning (+16%)
- Public policy (+15%)
- International trade & development (+14%)
- Think tanks (+13%)
- Venture capital (+12%)
- Computer games (+11%)
And here is LinkedIn’s view of the top shrinking industries. It may not be too surprising to see restaurants as taking a beating, given the recent recession we’re climbing out. And the declines in capital markets and banking — well, it was a nasty time to be in the business. Puzzling is the decline in supermarkets. The population continues to grow, everyone still has to eat no matter what, and there really isn’t an Amazon of supermarkets out there eating everyone’s lunch. So what gives? Telecom also seems to be suffering; the rise of Internet-based communications may be behind that.
