LinkedIn has reached a new milestone, announcing over 300 million members on the ‘professional’ social network — and over half of these members are from outside the U.S.
In the same blog post, LinkedIn also said that in 2014 the platform will hit its “mobile moment,” projecting that mobile will account for more than 50% of all global traffic. Here are some current mobile stats:
- an average of 15 million profile views on mobile each day
- 1.45 million job views daily on mobile
- 44,000 job applications each day in over 200 countries through mobile
LinkedIn is already being used more often on mobile than desktop in many locations, including Costa Rica, Malaysia, Singapore, Sweden, United Arab Emirates and the United Kingdom.
The platform has also started to see a more even gender distribution among users. Five years ago, 61% of members were male, and only 39% female. Now, it’s 56% male and 44% female. How much will the gap continue to close in the next five years?
