LinkedIn has released new data in their “2022 Guide to Kickstarting Your Career” report, which offers insights on the top jobs, industries, and cities to launch your professional journey. To compile this report, data scientists on LinkedIn’s Economic Graph team collected all entry-level hires from 2020 and 2021 and used those to calculate the share that each role, industry, and region held, then ranked those by year-over-year growth.

To help graduates from minority-serving institutions such as historically Black colleges and universities find opportunities, LinkedIn cross-referenced this data with places where high levels of Black and Brown graduates happened to reside. Here are the top 10 locations for entry-level jobs, according to recent LinkedIn data.
