LinkedIn European demographics

LinkedIn describes itself as the world’s largest and most powerful community of professionals, with members from over 200 countries and 170 industries.

Some countries more than others, indeed.

Ever wondered about the demographics on LinkedIn? I did, and today I saw all this useful data about usage per country, industry, company size, job function, and members’ age.

LinkedIn is almost 10 years old, and it has reached 147 Million members in 2012. Apparently, 2 new users sign up to LinkedIn every second.

Stumbled upon this fine article on change, and why “over 40 percent of the companies that were at the top of the Fortune 500 in 2000 were no longer there in 2010."

It could be about social media's role and the technology revolution, but not as long as most executives don't use social networks.
