Abstract

Technology development has a major impact on the economic systems, transforming all its components. For instance, the emergence of the blockchain technology changes the means of collaboration and transactions in society and economy, generating opportunities for financial markets, software companies, public and social services, to mention just a few. Furthermore, the challenges related to privacy, storage space, and networking are arising, creating new jobs. All over, different industries are looking for blockchain skills. This study aims to investigate the current requirements associated with blockchain-related jobs in the Romanian labor market, also examining the similarity to the worldwide situation. The importance of this topic lies in the fact that understanding employers’ requirements it is a major step for signaling current trends related to labor demand and skills mismatching. The findings are extracted using unsupervised text mining techniques on textual data sourced from the LinkedIn platform. The results present a snapshot of the current situation in Romania, revealing two main subsets of characteristics required for blockchain-related jobs. These define the two broad categories of actual vacancies: software engineers, which are expected to have a computer science background, programming skills, and product designers where marketing, communication, and design skills are essential.
