What Tech Skills Are Hot (react, Cloud) or Not (linux, Tableau)
It's a good time to have experience in React, the JavaScript library used to create user interfaces, according to a study released this week by job search firm Indeed.com. Meanwhile, a growing number of job seekers are touting their Linux skills, but employers are less interested. And Python's status is, well, complicated, the Indeed study showed.
Indeed looked at the changes in search terms used by tech workers and by recruiters over the past two years. According to that analysis, React is up 313 percent year over year as a job seeker interest, and 229 percent as an employer interest. Cloud computing skills also appear to be blazingly hot, with interest in Amazon Web Services up 98 percent for job seekers and 40 percent for employers.
A few tech skills popular among job seekers did not do as well with employers. Interest in Tableau, Laravel, Golang, Unity, Django, and Linux all dropped on the employer side in 2017, according to search volume.
The study also showed an 18 percent drop in searches by employers for Python skills.
