7 Official LinkedIn Infographics

Here’s a collection of the official LinkedIn infographics with facts, figures and stats by the LinkedIn Analytics team.

1) Annual job promotions

Does the best time to be promoted vary around the world? LinkedIn used the data of millions of its international members and confirms that January is the most popular month for promotions. In the US, while January is the top month for promotions, the spread throughout the year is more uniform than the global average.

2) What’s in a Professional name?

Are some names more successful than others? Is your name influencing your career? Or are both your career and choice of name influenced by factors like personality and values? Any attempt to explore these questions would need some cold, hard data. LinkedIn is the perfect place to start.

3) The top names that are over-represented among CEOs.
