Study methodology:

We define “skill sets” as a group of related skills that are critical to a certain profession or industry. Members’ skills and keywords listed on their LinkedIn profiles determine the key skill sets each member possesses. Within each skill set, we analyze LinkedIn Recruiter activity and member characteristics in order to determine supply and demand for talent. For example, a higher demand index means that the average professional in a region is interacting with recruiters more frequently than peers in other regions.
