How to read it

  • LinkedIn’s hiring rate is the share of members who added a new employer in the period; the AI hiring rate counts only AI talent. The value is the year-on-year change in the ratio of the two, as a three-month moving average.
  • The AI Index labels this 2025; the values are the December 2025 points of LinkedIn’s monthly series. Only the top 15 of 46 countries are shown.
  • Coverage depends on how widely LinkedIn is used, which varies by country.
