According to LinkedIn, till the end of July 2019, companies have posted 16,668 offers, which is 2% more than last year. The number of jobs in Cryptocurrency and Blockchain technology is increasing but there are very few people with these specialties.
The US companies are leading in the number of such job posting. According to the job search website Glassdoor, as of late July, U.S. firms posted 2,907 job offerings, which is up 40% from 2018. According to statistics posted on Indeed:
From February 2018 to February 2019, we saw the share of US job postings related to crypto, blockchain, and Bitcoin grow 90%.
The interest of job seekers in Bitcoin decreased than the last year but the share of searches related to crypto and blockchain is still up 553% from 2016 to 2019. The article on Indeed says:
For the first time, the number of jobs per million exceeded the number of searches per million. It could be reasonable to assume that if bitcoin drops dramatically again, a candidate looking for a blockchain role would run into less competition than they would after a large increase.
