This, and the absence of .NET technologies from the list (as noted elsewhere in the thread) makes me take this whole article with a large grain of salt.
Linkedin shows the following
US: 77,000
European Economic Area: 58,000
India: 51,000
China: 48,000(probably undercounted)
UK: 9,000
Canada: 7,000
Brazil: 6,000
Mexico: 4,000
Aus & NZ: 2,000
Eastern Africa: 300
Western Africa: 500
Southern Africa: 600
Northern Africa: 1,000
Within europe:
Nordics: 3,000
Germany: 15,000
France: 8,000
Italy: 3,000
Poland: 5,000
Romania: 2,000
Quick thoughts1) US, Europe, China, India seem to be doing way better than the rest of the world
2) Germany still tops the charts in europe
3) China is probably undercounted, so I wonder if the real number is even higher than US. Would love to hear from people more familiar with chinese job market.
4) I wish Africa was doing better given the economic challenges
