LinkedIn Renames Its Economic Graph Pulse and Gives the Job Market Another Feed
· New York time
LinkedIn has launched a data insights hub, renaming its Economic Graph as LinkedIn Pulse and presenting it as a channel for global labor market analysis. The professional networking platform is giving its labor data a more visible identity for people interested in how work and hiring are changing. A labor market hub can be useful to job seekers, recruiters and others looking for patterns beyond an individual vacancy. LinkedIn's perspective is shaped by its own platform and the information available through it, so its analysis is one view of a broad economy rather than a complete count of every worker and employer. The new name makes the project sound more immediate than a graph, even though the work remains the difficult business of interpreting data. A polished label cannot by itself settle questions about who is represented or what a particular change means for someone seeking a job. For LinkedIn, the hub extends a familiar role. The site is already where users display careers, find opportunities and encounter professional advice. Now it also offers a branded account of the market in which those careers operate. The platform has moved from hosting the résumés to giving the entire workplace a status update.
