As always, thank you for sharing and finding these helpful sources! I did check out the article AND the research paper behind it. The data set ends in 2018, and I suspect it is still very valid, if not more so. One additional piece I found interesting in the data set was that senior-level management at top USA firms is LESS on Linked In; that has been my experience. Middle-level employees were the most represented on Linked In back in 2018. There are tons of great charts, graphs, and heat maps in the paper. Here's one.
