“social networking” Job Trends
We index over 50 million jobs a year from thousands of websites. We are allowing anyone to search this archive in order to plot job trends over time. To get you started we ran a search for social networking job trends. As shown in the graph below, “social networking” is increasingly appearing in job postings. Still cant beat out “face to face” interactions though.

Job trends graph
Indeed.com searches millions of jobs from thousands of job sites.
This job trends graph shows the percentage of jobs we find that contain your search terms.

Although the graph shows an interesting direction of trends, I would just like to remind the audience that trends are only one factor when examining a picture.
If you really are looking for what skills are hot or not, I think an important factor to consider is context.
Like for example in the graph above. All these social networking jobs could theoretically clump in India or some obscure part of the US.
Then if you think about it, that graph would look totally different for the jobs in so cal.
Remember.. just because you see a graph, don’t take it as truth. Look at the data, interpret it, question it, and see if it makes sense.
