Using LinkedIn data to show Wall Street migration

This is cool. The folks at LinkedIn tracked employment changes in their database to produce a flow chart of where employees from doomed Wall Street investment houses went after the collapse. Unfortunately nobody puts "unemployed" on their LinkedIn card. Would have been interesting and sad to see how many folks have that as their destination.

Hmm. Is that zero who went to Great Solutions (Goldman-Sachs)?

Yea, goldman sachs should definitely fall in there somewhere, I'm just not sure who's buying who.

Interesting charts. It's still relying on social networking for the data though, so there's surely some degree of error there.

Agreed that its probably not entirely accurate, but still gives a good overview of the industry movement.

Interesting...I wonder If I can see the same for all the companies I've worked with? Or better yet, can companies who's hiring someone look at this data as well?

are there any numbers to that chart?

I'm sure marketing companies would love to get their hands on this data.

I received 1 st mortgage loans when I was not very old and this aided my business a lot. Nevertheless, I require the student loan again.
