Overview & Methodology
A world of insights can be gathered
from LinkedIn’s 347 million members
– the world’s largest professional
network. There are over 40 million
Students and Recent Graduates on
LinkedIn globally.
Our data reveals where students
are concentrated, where they’re
going, and what they’re looking
for in a job.
LinkedIn Recruiter activity and
member characteristics are used
to determine supply and demand
for talent. A higher demand index
means the average professional
from a particular school is interacting
with recruiters more frequently than
peers in other schools.
Data about job consideration comes
from our semiannual Talent Drivers
Survey of over 373,000 members.
