This infographic offers a very holistic chart of the most in demand jobs and skills for 2013.
With technology advancing so rapidly, the amount of people who are user-savvy of these new programs and tools are understandably decreasing. This is plummeting the supply of knowledgeable workers and increasing the demand for them.
As the chart exhibits, the demand for software developers has increased a substantial 7% where as the demand for market analysts and researcher have increased 10%. Furthermore, critical thinking and complex problem solving are also one the two most in demand skills of our work force this year.
Concrete knowledge and personal skills are equally important but in competitive job markets such as that of 2013, having both is what makes the cut.
