""The key is rethinking what you're doing not as a job, but as a set of skills," he said. Once you understand your skills, Roth said to look at the jobs on the rise list and assess where the demand is, "because the demand is super uneven." "Then, start working backwards," Roth said."What are the skills that are required to be a construction planning coordinator or an independent analyst? What are the skills that I have that will get me there?""
""This year's crop is doing it in a much tighter job market, so there are jobs out there - they're harder to find," LinkedIn editor-in-chief and vice president Dan Roth said on the 3rd hour of TODAY Jan. 7. "They're concentrated in particular industries. It's uneven," he added. "So if you're one of those people who's looking for a new job, it is important to really be armed with information about where there is growth, and then really be prepared to pivot if necessary.""
LinkedIn's Jobs on the Rise ranks the fastest-growing U.S. jobs for 2026, led by A.I. engineer and A.I. consultant or strategist. A LinkedIn survey found 56% of Americans plan to look for new jobs in 2026, but the job market is tighter and openings are concentrated in particular industries. Job seekers should reframe roles as skill sets, assess demand on the jobs-on-the-rise list, and work backwards to identify required skills. Emphasizing transferable abilities through storytelling and matching current skills to target-role requirements can improve prospects in uneven growth areas.
