Work can cause a great deal of stress. More than half, 57%, of workers report experiencing the impacts of work-related stress such as emotional exhaustion, low motivation and a desire to quit, according to the American Psychological Association's 2023 Work in America Survey. Whether or not a job ends up being stressful can be the result of a series of factors. A toxic boss, an overwhelming workload and a lack of flexibility can all play into your experience. "What's best for [you] might not be for someone else," says Vicki Salemi, career coach at Monster.

Your LinkedIn profile is a billboard for your career — to attract potential employers, it needs to be eye-catching and informative. "If you don't include the skills or keywords hiring managers are searching for on your LinkedIn profile, you're automatically disqualifying yourself from those opportunities," he explains. According to Jobscan, 87% of recruiters use LinkedIn to source and vet job candidates. People with five or more skills listed on their profile, LinkedIn reports, are contacted up to 33x more by recruiters and other LinkedIn members and receive 17x more profile views, than those with fewer skills listed. When recruiters search for job candidates on LinkedIn, they typically search for people by location, skills and other keywords in the role's description, McCaskill explains.

Millennials use workplace jargon the most, while Gen Zers are the most annoyed by it. But, Wilson warns, using too much jargon "can make you sound desperate to belong." Office jargon doesn't just confuse the people you want to impress — it can also exclude or even offend them in some cases. Amidst the office jargon, there are also phrases with culturally insensitive undertones like "low on the totem poll," McCaskill points out. You might not be able to avoid jargon completely, but deferring to simple, clear language — and limiting how often you're using corporate colloquialisms — is the easiest way to sound smarter at work, McCaskill says.

It's still a good time to apply and get a job according to labor market data, survey results, and experts. "The best job seeker's market in over 50 years"According to Julia Pollak, chief economist at ZipRecruiter, now is a great time to find a job. "If I was a job seeker I would think this is still a job seekers' labor market," Nick Bunker, economic research director for North America at Indeed Hiring Lab, told Insider. But this is still very much a labor market that's giving lots of advantages to people who are looking for new work." Despite the strong labor market, some workers out of work or impacted by recent layoff announcements may have a hard time finding a job soon.
Despite economic uncertainty, US workers are confident about the job market, LinkedIn data suggests. The findings point to American workers' resilience, nearly three years since the pandemic began.

Roughly two-thirds of American workers are considering changing jobs this year, mainly to boost their salary and improve their work-life balance, according to the results.

LinkedIn has published its annual "Jobs on the Rise" report for the US, highlighting hot fields.
