As per the latest reports, LinkedIn has shared a report showing how much surge has been recorded in the number of cryptocurrencies- and blockchain-based jobs. The online employment-oriented platform has revealed that many companies from around the world are posting jobs for cryptocurrency and blockchain projects.
Devin Banerjee, the LinkedIn editor has recently shared a report providing information surrounding job postings in the particular space on Wednesday, October 27, 2021.
In the report, Banerjee has provided data collected by the Economic Graph team of LinkedIn. The firm has revealed that from August of 2020 until September 2021, the number of job postings related to blockchain and cryptocurrencies has surged tremendously.
The report reveals that since August 2020, the job listings for cryptocurrencies and blockchains have surged 615%. According to the teams, the job requirements in the particular spaces have increased ever since the crypto-boom came back in the third quarter of 2020.
Since then, a great surge has been recorded where different companies have been on the lookout for hiring people with exposure in the crypto-blockchain industry.
The team has also revealed the names of the major companies that have posted the highest number of listings for jobs in the said fields. Among firms posting the highest number of listings for such fields, is JP Morgan, a major financial institution.
The report reveals that among the majority of the firms looking for employees in the particular spaces, the financial services firms are posting more jobs than the rest.
It was back in 2015 when JPMorgan had posted jobs for crypto-blockchain employees for the first time. This time, JPMorgan has revealed that it is aiming to hire three times more employees in the same spaces than it did back in 2015.
As blockchain technology continues expanding and being adopted globally, firms such as JPMorgan have been aiming to benefit as much from the industry as possible. In the job postings within the crypto-blockchain spaces, the top roles added are for auditors, marketers, engineers, and software developers.
The report shows that in the month of July alone, JPMorgan posted over 30 job openings for candidates in the same spaces. The firm has revealed that out of the total postings being made in July, the majority of them were recorded in a single week.
The report shows that JPMorgan is not the only company that is looking for people with experience in particular spaces. Some of the major firms that have posted jobs for such candidates include Amazon, Apple, and many more international companies from around the world.
Now that the cryptocurrency industry has grown even bigger, things are about to escalate and more job postings may soon emerge from different firms.
