There was a time when people have assumed that LinkedIn is already dying. The truth is that LinkedIn is still relevant today in the year 2020. There are a lot of people who have lost their jobs and they have no choice but to update their LinkedIn accounts.

At the same time, there are some people who have also found new jobs through LinkedIn. There are opportunities that are available on this social media website that will be hard to find elsewhere. This used to be just one of the usual social networks but right now, it is the social networks that are used by people who would like to build better business connections.

The correct answer to this question is Yes. LinkedIn is a professional social media platform, where a job seeker can look for jobs and connect with recruiters. Job leaders can also use this platform to post jobs and find future employees. The platform has been around for many years and currently has over 670 million users.

Many question its relevancy and LinkedIn is able to stay relevant with the changes on their platform. One of those changes is to engagement. A user can post a short video clip that will keep the viewer on their profile and lead them to comment, engage, and connect with one another.

LinkedIn is still relevant in 2020 and is still leading as the best social media for businesses and professionals. Currently, the total number of monthly active users on LinkedIn has risen to 675 million. This is about a 14 percent increase when you compare the current figure to that of 2018. There are about 167 million users from the United States of America, with 211 million users in the whole of Europe. According to the statistics released on LinkedIn, the platform now houses about 51% of users who are college graduates. Most hiring managers now see LinkedIn as the right place to get qualified candidates for their respective jobs. Another reason why LinkedIn is still relevant in 2020 is that its engagement has increased by 50 percent this year. Also, LinkedIn has now become a platform where users can easily engage with other co-workers. LinkedIn has also proven to be one of the best platforms for job seekers.

Yes. LinkedIn is still relevant in 2020. A 2020 survey discovered that the United States could reach 160 million users through the platform. The closest competitor was India, with over 60 million users. LinkedIn currently has over 660 million accounts. LinkedIn is demonstrating to its users that the traditional way of finding a job has become archaic, as millions of people are starting to look to LinkedIn to receive help to find a job. LinkedIn’s success is seen through its plethora of profiles. Many groups and corporations use LinkedIn. It can also help those who have poor time management skills and must advertise products and services to a specific audience within the company itself. LinkedIn has become the preferred way to find a job, and it doesn’t look like that’s changing anytime soon.
