Gen Z seeking ‘future-proof’ jobs, iOS developer tops list: Indeed

September 06, 2018

Members of ‘Gen Z’ demonstrate a strong interest in “future-proof” jobs, according to research released today by Indeed. Initial surveys also suggest that job stability is a priority for Gen Zers.

The oldest members of the Gen Z — born in 1997 — are graduating college this year, and Indeed’s analytics team crunched the numbers on Gen Zers of graduation age compared to everyone else. It also calculated a “popularity index” to show how much more frequently this group clicks on certain full-time job postings compared to all other job seekers.

The Gen Z popularity index compares graduation-age Gen Zers to all other job seekers. For each job, the index divides the number of clicks from graduation-age Gen Zers by the number of clicks from other job seekers. The results show how much more frequently Gen Zers of college graduation age clicked on certain full-time jobs compared to all other job seekers.

The following postings received higher shares of interest from Gen Z, based on Indeed’s Gen Z popularity index:

  1. iOS developer, 3.2
  2. Computer vision engineer, 2.3
  3. Machine learning engineer, 2.2
  4. Audio engineer, 2.0
  5. Daycare assistant, 2.0
  6. Beauty consultant, 1.9
  7. Junior software engineer, 1.9
  8. Bridal consultant, 1.8
  9. Photojournalist, 1.8
  10. Bookseller, 1.8
