Blog by Patrick Driscoll and Akash Kaura: “LinkedIn’s vision is to create economic opportunity for every member of the global workforce. Since its inception in 2015, the Economic Graph Research and Insights (EGRI) team has worked to make this vision a reality by generating labor market insights such as:
- Real-time economic and workforce intelligence & insights. This takes the form of the monthly LinkedIn Workforce Report, newsletters on LinkedIn.com, working papers, and flagship reports about timely issues such as the green transition to address climate change.
- Sharing economic data with the government and multilateral partners.
