LinkedIn is celebrating its 15th birthday Thursday, and it shared data on how industries and job titles have evolved since its debut.

Co-founder and vice president of product strategy Allen Blue said in a blog post, “15 years ago, we launched LinkedIn in Reid Hoffman’s living room with the tagline, ‘Relationships matter.’ I’m proud to say that this mantra still rings true today in both the halls of LinkedIn and on the platform. While the world of work has evolved immensely—be it the tools and products we use, the ways we communicate and even the jobs themselves—our need to connect with one another to be productive in our careers remains at the core of all we do.”
