For our members
Founded in 2003, LinkedIn connects the world’s professionals
to make them more productive and successful. With over 400
million members worldwide, including executives from every
Fortune 500 company, LinkedIn is the world’s largest
professional network.

LinkedIn’s vision is to create economic opportunity for every
member of the global workforce. To accomplish this, LinkedIn is
developing the world's first economic graph, a digital mapping
of the global economy. The graph includes every job
opportunity in the world (full-time and temporary); the skills
required to obtain those opportunities; the profiles for every
company in the world offering those opportunities; the
professional profiles for every one of the 3.3 billion people in
the global workforce; and the professional knowledge that
exists within and between each of these entities. LinkedIn can
be the fabric connecting human capital to where it can best be
leveraged, and in doing so, help lift and transform the global
economy.

Member profiles make up a rich data set that LinkedIn
aggregates to understand a region’s labour market
Jobs
Members indicate their job history in the experience
section of their profile. When a new position is added
with a different location or employer, LinkedIn uses these
signals to uncover trends. Information is always
summarized to protect individual member privacy.
Education
Members indicate their academic achievements in the
education section of their profile, such as their higher
education organization and degree type.
Skills
Members indicate their expertise within the skills section
of their profile. LinkedIn clusters the tens of thousands of
individual skills that members choose to display on their
profile into categories for analysis.
