The job market landscape changes quickly. As industries change, new technologies emerge, and other economic factors influence organizations, job demand changes. So far in 2023, there are certain jobs you would expect to be in demand, such as nursing and healthcare roles. But there are others that have shown quite a bit of growth in demand, such as customer service-related jobs.
“Demand for customer service reps has doubled in just the past three months, making it currently the fourth-most in-demand job in the world, according to the latest LinkedIn data on paid job postings,” says Greg Lewis and Manas Mohapatra, on the LinkedIn Talent Blog.
“Broadly speaking, frontline roles — those which must be done onsite in close contact with customers or coworkers — have remained in high demand, particularly in the retail sector,” they add.
