The Most In-Demand Soft Skills In America

NetCredit collated a list of soft skills based on job listings, including job descriptions and city/state location of the role, gathered sector-by-sector from Indeed.com to ensure an even spread of job postings across the industries.

To determine which soft skills were most uniquely popular in each sector, state and city, the percentage of job postings in each area that mentioned a given soft skill was compared to the percentage of postings mentioning that skill across the board. The greater that percentage was over the national average, the more uniquely popular a given skill was considered in each sector, state and city.
