These jobs have been seeing notable growth: LinkedIn
‘Barron’s Roundtable’ panelists Ben Levisohn, Al Root and Megan Leonhardt discuss the top three stories from the week.
As the new year gets underway, some Americans may be on the hunt for new jobs.
The 2025 edition of LinkedIn’s “Jobs on the Rise” report released on Tuesday identified positions that have been seeing notable growth in the U.S. in the past few years.
Two roles related to artificial intelligence – artificial intelligence engineer and artificial intelligence consultant – placed first and second in the U.S., according to the report.

In addition to AI, a variety of other sectors were represented in the top 10 of the report.
LinkedIn used growth rates calculated from millions of positions that LinkedIn users stepped into during a timeframe spanning Jan. 1, 2022 to July 31, 2024 to craft its U.S. list of booming positions.

The 10 jobs at the top of LinkedIn’s 2025 report included the following:
- Artificial intelligence engineer
- Artificial intelligence consultant
- Physical therapist
- Workforce development manager
- Travel adviser
- Event coordinator
- Director of development
- Outside sales representative
- Sustainability specialist
- Security guard
The U.S. report featured a total of 25 jobs in its ranking, some of which were not present in past iterations of “LinkedIn Jobs on the Rise.”
For instance, two positions from the top 10 fast-growing roles – travel adviser and event coordinator – made appearances in 2025 thanks to people taking more trips and attending more live events in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, according to LinkedIn.

Some other roles showing up in the top 25 job ranking for the first time this year included artificial intelligence researcher, community planner, land agent, bridge engineer and commissioning manager.
LinkedIn also noted that “almost half of this year’s Jobs on the Rise in the U.S. didn’t exist 25 years ago – including roles like Artificial Intelligence Engineer, Workforce Development Manager and Chief Growth officers – reflecting the evolving world of work and emerging opportunities that jobs seekers may not have considered before.”

In late October, ResumeTemplates.com reported 56% of American full-time workers indicated they were “already looking for a new job or plan to start” in 2025.
‘The Big Money Show’ co-hosts discuss buy now, pay later spending options and the impact it will now have on your credit score.
Small, everyday purchases like a meal from DoorDash are now able to be financed through eat now, pay later options — a practice that some experts deem “predatory.”
“You’ve got to have enough sense to not follow the urge to finance a taco, okay? You have got to be an adult,” career coach Ken Coleman told “The Big Money Show,” Wednesday.
“This is predatory, and it’s going to get a lot of people in deep trouble.”
RISKS OF BUY NOW, PAY LATER: ‘TICKET TO OVERSPENDING,’ EXPERT SAYS

Financial wellness experts are continuously sounding the alarm to cash-strapped consumers, warning them of the devastating impact this financial strategy could have on their credit score as some lenders will begin reporting those loans to credit agencies.
Consumers may risk getting hit with late fees and interest rates, similar to credit cards.
“So your sandwich might show up on your FICO score, especially if you pay for it late,” FOX Business’ Jackie DeAngelis explained.
EXPERTS WARN HIDDEN RISKS OF BUY NOW, PAY LATER
Major players like Affirm, Afterpay, and Klarna have risen to prominence at a time when Americans continue to grapple with persisting inflation, high interest rates and student loan payments, which resumed in October 2023 after a pause due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Ramsey Solutions personal finance expert and ‘The Ramsey Show’ co-host George Kamel discusses the ‘buy now, pay later’ craze and the trend that celebrates the financial benefits of being childless.
“The Big Money Show” co-host Taylor Riggs offered a different perspective, suggesting that company CEOs have a “duty” to attract as many customers as they want.
“Unfortunately for me, this always comes down to financial literacy — which I know is so much in your heart about training people to save now by later,” she told Coleman, who regularly offers financial advice to callers on “The Ramsey Show.”

Coleman continued to come to the defense of financially “desperate” consumers, arguing that companies are targeting “immature” customers.
“I’m for American businesses being able to do whatever they want to do under the law. That’s fine. But let’s still call it what it is: it’s predatory, and they know who their customers are,” Coleman concluded, “And I’m telling you, they’re talking about weak-minded, immature, desperate people.”
