Jeff L. shared thisAmong my peers who are currently job-seeking in the U.S., I've heard how challenging the market is right now. This data backs that up.Jeff L. shared thisThe labor market has lived several lives in the last six years alone. In just a few years, the labor market has moved through dramatic extremes—from the shock of the pandemic, when entire industries shut down overnight, to the rapid churn and elevated hiring levels of the Great Reshuffle. Today, we’ve entered a new phase: slower growth, more caution, and a broad recalibration underway across companies. Here’s what LinkedIn’s data shows: 🔎 Hiring in advanced economies is still 20–35% below pre‑pandemic levels. 📈 Competition has intensified, with applicants per role roughly doubling since 2022. 📣 At the same time, demand for new skills and hiring for entirely new jobs is accelerating: AI literacy is one of the fastest‑growing skills on LinkedIn, and hiring for AI-related specialists from AI Engineers, Consultants and Researchers continues to top our lists of fastest growing jobs. However, this isn’t a collapse. It’s a reset being shaped by macro uncertainty and the rapid integration of AI into how work gets done. For professionals, these shifts mean navigating longer job searches and tougher competition, while also preparing for roles that look different than they did just a few years ago. And for leaders, it means being more deliberate about where and how they invest in talent and new technology. To help people navigate this moment—and whatever our new normal becomes—LinkedIn CEO Ryan Roslansky and Chief Economic Opportunity Officer Aneesh Raman have authored "Open to Work". The book serves as a valuable guide, focusing on clarity over hype, and how people can build durable careers in the age of AI. 📘 "Open to Work" is available to pre-order now at https://lnkd.in/gsn6jRBF. #OpenToWorkBook

Jeff L. shared thisIt's exciting to see where career development is going on LinkedIn Learning. More than a decade ago I was making a significant career pivot and spent a great deal of time, energy and resources to position myself for that change. It's exciting that the barriers for career movement are getting lower today. Congratulations to the teams that helped bring LinkedIn Learning Career Hub to life!Jeff L. shared thisI'm proud to share that LinkedIn Learning Career Hub is live! 🎉 We've been evolving LinkedIn Learning to go beyond just skill building - now connecting learning directly to careers, skills and opportunity like never before. 👉 For employees: it makes growth visible.

That means you can see which skills are trending, help employees build the ones that matter most, and open up smarter paths for internal mobility. Because when people see a future inside your company, everyone wins. Check it out here: https://lnkd.in/careerhub

Jeff L. shared this"I worry about the day when children long for their chatbots to be proud of them. Maybe technology can productively individualize and personalize, but, please, let’s keep the personal human. I’ve spent a long, successful career in EdTech. The tech doesn’t care. It can’t. We can." - David Dockterman. If you have 11 minutes, listen to this speech to the graduating class of 2025 Harvard Graduate School of Education. I first encountered Dock's contributions as a 10-year old playing the Swiss Family Robinson educational game, and learned so much years later in his educational software development class. I'm still learning from him! #lifelonglearner #learning #teaching #edtechJeff L. shared thisWorking with some of the brightest and most committed young educators from around the globe is an incredible privilege, and I was honored and flattered to be chosen by Harvard Graduate School of Education students as their faculty speaker for graduation. I took the opportunity to reflect on my 45+ year commitment to education. I ended up sharing 3 of the reasons I love teaching. Maybe some of the thoughts will resonate with you. https://lnkd.in/dfh6QQkr Congratulations HGSE Class of 2025! And thank you for all you’ve given me.

Jeff L. shared thisI cherished my time at Harvard Graduate School of Education where the rich educational experience was amplified by the diverse backgrounds of my classmates from across the globe. It's deeply concerning to see international students and academics in that community now grappling with uncertainty about their future, putting at stake their invaluable contributions to fields like medicine, science, education, and technology. https://lnkd.in/d4PNXH5JUniversity sues administration over move to bar international students, scholars— Harvard GazetteUniversity sues administration over move to bar international students, scholars— Harvard Gazette

Jeff L. reacted on thisJeff L. reacted on thisThe idea that you're either left-brained or right-brained -- analytical or creative, one or the other, is still everywhere. In cognitive science, we call this personality-based hemispheric dominance. And it's a myth. There is no such thing. What makes this frustrating is the real-world consequences. When people believe they're "the analytical type," they opt out of creative work. When organisations separate people into "creative" and "analytical" camps, they're building teams on a foundation that has no scientific basis. Everyone brings cognitive resources to creative work. Divergent thinking, convergent thinking, executive function -- these are skills that exist on a spectrum, and everyone has access to all three. So the question becomes, are we still telling people they're one type or the other? Because every time we do, we're giving someone a scientifically inaccurate reason to opt out of creative contribution.

But more than anything, today is about gratitude. Gratitude for every past, present and future employee at LinkedIn and Microsoft who show up every day to create economic opportunity for the global workforce and to empower every person and organization in the world to achieve more. While that’s always true, it is especially true in moments of big change, when we all feel an extra responsibility to help professionals connect, learn, work, and grow in new ways, together. Gratitude for the members and experts who helped us tell this story. Who helped us show that no matter where you live or what you do, no matter what kind of job title you hold or what kind of career trajectory you’re on, this story belongs to you. Gratitude for the people - and the purpose - that made this book possible. Thank you.

Jeff L. liked thisJeff L. liked thisDon’t put yourself in a box… unless it’s a Proto Hologram Box! We wanted to keep experimenting at the cutting edge of AI tech, so we turned ReidAI into a hologram. What stood out: it feels more human at first glance — the presence, the dimensionality, the illusion of being “there.” That means more people walk up to ReidAI and actually engage with it when it’s in the Proto Box—not because they think it’s me inside (I hope), but because the experience feels more intuitive. Bridging these interaction gaps with AI models and digital twins is an enormous opportunity and something that we need to think deeply about to feel the full benefit of AI in our lives. Also: Thanks to Village Global for hosting ReidAI and me!

Jeff L. reacted on thisJeff L. reacted on thisIs this a missed financial opportunity, or a priceless souvenir? Recently, I have been going through boxes of old papers and documents from when I was a kid. Among all the stuff? An unmailed Milli Vanilli rebate form. If you don't recall - or don't know - the award winning duo was a lipsyncing front for other mostly German studio-produced singers who actually made the music. At the time, this was a huge scandal. Once the scam was uncovered, rebates were offered to those who bought their albums. Like many people, I bought the album. But I never mailed in the rebate. It was a lost few dollars - But the envelope made me laugh pretty hard when I found it in with old papers, yearbooks, and letters. So, what do you think??? Wasted money Or priceless memory?

Jeff L. liked thisJeff L. liked thisChuck Norris didn't multitask. That’s not a joke—that’s who he was. As I heard of his passing today, my inbox has been filled with messages from people who admired him. I’m one of those people. Sixteen years ago, he cited my book “The Myth of Multitasking” in his “Official Chuck Norris Fact Book.” He didn’t have to do that, which made it all the more meaningful. That small, unexpected connection is why so many people have been reaching out to me today. I feel sad and happy at the same time: Sad that the world will be a little less awesome without him in it. But happy that he made such a lasting, positive impact in the lives of others. The man who became an undefeated world karate champion, a tenth degree black belt, and an actor who brightened people’s days understood and taught a core principle: Great progress isn’t divided. It’s focused. Fully. Every single time. And that’s why he loved the fact… “Chuck Norris can kill two stones with one bird.” Chuck, thank you. Of all the lives you impacted, I’m glad mine was one of them.

Jeff L. liked thisJeff L. liked thisI built my first iOS app! Claude Code removes barriers to entry, making it easy for anyone to act on their ideas. Turns out, most ideas don’t amount to much. As a designer, I’d often sketch tens or hundreds of concepts. As you’d sit with them, over time, some rise to the top. My mentor John McWade would often tell me to print a few sketches out and hang them on my wall and let them sit there for a few days. Over time you’ll either get sick of seeing it or you’ll love it. He called it “living with your idea” as an aid to finding the ideas that stick. Making websites and web apps with Claude Code is fun and awesome. But how often do you jump on an idea, create a site, and then never visit it or use it again? Contrast that with building an iOS app, an icon that now sits on my home screen beside all my other apps. I generate a light “phase one” version and then I “live” with it. I take notice of how often I open it, how I’m using it. And then I move on to phase two. When I have a few minutes, I’m grabbing some voice notes to share back with Claude Code. When I see a friend on the street I fire up the app and ask “what do you think?” getting real feedback. It’s not just fun building iOS apps — I’m finding that it accelerates finding the good ideas from the lot and getting feedback loops faster and more effectively. I think I just had my own personal “mobile moment”

Jeff L. reacted on thisJeff L. reacted on thisLast week, I got to attend our LinkedIn Finance Summit in San Jose. The evening event was festival themed. As I got in line for this slide, the attendant asked, “How many riders?” I responded, “Just me.” He looked a little surprised, but I climbed to the top and slid down on my own. Not everything has to be a competition. We don’t have to constantly compare ourselves with others. Once in a while, we can just do the thing because we enjoy doing the thing. So here I am sliding into the coming week thinking about how I’m going to #FindTheFun this week. 😁
