LinkedIn has released the 2018 edition of its Emerging Jobs Report.
Topping the list is the blockchain developer position.
With crypto markets crashing in the past month amid signs of an industry slowdown, it's unclear whether blockchain firms will be hiring at the same pace in 2019.Demand for Blockchain Devs Increased 32 Fold in 2018.
With a 32 fold increase in demand over the prior year, it was blockchain developers that saw the most growth of any position covered in the report.
Blockchain devs with skills in Solidity and Node.js were the highest in demand, per the report.
The three top employers were IBM, Ethereum, venture studio ConsenSys, and the blockchain consultancy Chainyard, while the top cities for these jobs were San Francisco, New York City, and Atlanta.
"Only time will tell if blockchain will be a long-standing trend in the job market, but take note of the jobs that are on both this year's and last year's Emerging Jobs lists: Machine Learning Engineer, Assurance Staff, and Sales Development Representative. These roles cover a variety of business functions and skills, and are here to stay."
The massive spike in demand for blockchain developers reflects the substantial amount of money raised by blockchain startups via initial coin offerings in the past two years.
The LinkedIn report confirms the firms that raised this money have been on a hiring spree in 2018 to develop their blockchain projects.
While blockchain developers had a breakout in 2018, the position failed to make the top ten in the "Jobs With the Largest Hiring Growth" category of LinkedIn's report.
