Economic graph[edit]

Inspired by Facebook's "social graph", in 2012 LinkedIn CEO Jeff Weiner set a goal to create an "economic graph" within a decade.^[1] The goal is to create a comprehensive digital map of the global economy and the connections within it.^[2] The economic graph will be built on the company's current platform with data nodes including companies, jobs, skills, volunteer opportunities, educational institutions, and content.^[3]^[4]^[5] They hope to include all the job listings in the world, all the skills required to get those jobs, all the professionals who could fill them, and all the companies (nonprofit and for-profit) at which they work.^[3] The initiative's ultimate goal is to make the global economy and job market more efficient through increased transparency.^[1]

In June 2014, the company announced the launch of its "Galene" search architecture to give users access to the economic graph's data with more thorough filtering of data, via user searches like "Engineers with Hadoop experience in Brazil."^[6]^[7]

LinkedIn has used economic graph data to research several topics on the job market, including popular destination cities of recent college graduates ^[8], areas with high concentrations of technology skills ^[9] and common career transitions ^[10]. LinkedIn provided the City of New York with data from economic graph showing “in-demand" tech skills for the city's "Tech Talent Pipeline" project.^[11] Similar data will be provided to a technology training project announced by President Obama in March 2015.^[12]
