Of relevance largely to the VC-EDU and HR community, but others in the CCG might be interested... There is new research based on the CommonCrawl dataset showing that the amount of JobPosting data, published by websites as JSON-LD and crawled by Google and the other search engines to help people find jobs, jumped by 500% over the last two years (9K domains in the sample set to over 50K domains, of 12M total domains in the sample set). See page 2 for the graphs: https://www.uni-mannheim.de/media/Einrichtungen/dws/Files_Research/Web-based_Systems/pub/Brinkmann-etal-TheWDCSchemaorgDataSetSeries-WWW2023.pdf The schema.org JobPosting type can be found here: https://schema.org/JobPosting This feels relevant to Open Badges, Learning and Employment Records, and work that some of you are doing at 1EdTech and VC-EDU. You could view this news as the demand-side (hiring) for VC-EDU credentials starting to take off, and the supply side (education and workforce skills training) might want to try to figure out what's going on here. Just sharing an interesting data point... -- manu -- Manu Sporny - https://www.linkedin.com/in/manusporny/ Founder/CEO - Digital Bazaar, Inc. https://www.digitalbazaar.com/
