LinkedIn member job change
“It’s true that topics like layoffs are trending on LinkedIn and conversations around ‘recession’ are up nearly 900% since last year,” the company said in the report. “The rate of global <anchor>LinkedIn member job change</anchor> has flatlined for the first time since March 2021.

Ryan Roslansky, the CEO of LinkedIn, thinks the site should be a place where its members’ billions of years of collective work experience should be freed to upskill anyone, anywhere, any time.
