LinkedIn has compiled a list of the top 20 in-demand skills

 LinkedIn has published an updated list of the top 20 talents that companies are now seeking for.

LinkedIn has released a new study on the most in-demand talents based on job posting analysis. 78% of job listings include the top 20 skills.

The report's data was obtained during the last three months and compared to the top abilities professionals possessed in 2015.

According to LinkedIn, occupational skill sets have changed by around 25% since 2015 and are anticipated to change by 41% by 2025.

Digital marketing is one of the most in-demand talents. Social media marketing was also included on the list.

The list is divided into hard and soft talents, with hard skills accounting for more than half of the total.

LinkedIn is giving many paid courses free for the month of September to help users develop these in-demand skills.

Learning in-demand skills can help you gain access to new work prospects and secure your career's future.

Furthermore, LinkedIn refreshes search results to reveal job advertisements that are more relevant to a user's skill set, making it simpler for qualified individuals to find work.
