LinkedIn, like any other networking site, has its proponents and detractors. But before you write it off, consider this LinkedIn data assembled by Website-Monitoring.com in helpful infographic form. Here are some key takeaways.

130110-1 LinkedIn Demographics

LinkedIn Demographics

LinkedIn users are a well-educated bunch: Half have bachelor degrees and nearly 30% have graduate degrees. They're also well distributed across career paths. You can probably find the types of connections you're looking for.

LinkedIn's Global Reach

It's important to understand just how far your network can extend. Although the United States has the greatest number of users, Americans are still only a plurality in the LinkedIn universe. Would your business or career benefit from targeting the 63% of users who live outside US borders?

Despite the number of languages on offer, most LinkedIn users come from Anglophone countries. The top 5 are the United States, India, the United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia. In other words, odds are that foreign LinkedIn users speak your language.
