LinkedIn offered additional findings from the survey results, including these:
- Referrals are the top channel people use to discover their next job.
- The top obstacle for job candidates is not knowing what it is like to work at a particular organization.
- Small is the new big. People are flocking to smaller companies.
- One out of every three people who changed jobs changed careers entirely.
- The top three industries are tech, healthcare, and oil and energy.
- Younger generations want advancement and challenge, while older generations prefer the same industry.
