The Bitcoin and Blockchain jobs industry is booming despite price deflation, a new survey from Glassdoor has revealed.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

1775 Bitcoin, Blockchain Jobs In August<\/h2>\n

The findings<\/a>, which originally appeared in mid-October, covered an 18-month period from April 2017 through August 2018.<\/p>\n

In that time, the number of job openings \u201crelated\u201d to both Bitcoin and Blockchain grew almost every month \u2013 even as the Bitcoin price began to fall after December last year.<\/p>\n

Most came from cryptocurrency names, with Ethereum cofounder Joseph Lubin\u2019s ConsenSys and exchange Coinbase among the top players.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Contrary to expectations, as of August 2018, there were more vacancies in the two sectors than ever before, even as BTC\/USD 0<\/span>0<\/span><\/span> fell lower and lower.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs more employers become interested and invest in the technology, the professionalization of the space has accelerated as well,\u201d Glassdoor researchers wrote expounding the data.<\/p>\n

Cryptocurrency prices began rising across the board around May 2017. In that month, just 234 jobs were on offer in the US.<\/p>\n

Fast forward a year and a half and the Bitcoin price was circling $6500 \u2013 around three times higher \u2013 yet the number of jobs had multiplied well beyond that figure, reaching 1775 this August.<\/p>\n

Glassdoor also lists the top markets for the job openings with New York City and Silicon Valley (unsurprisingly) in the top three.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Rapid Growth \u2018Set To Continue\u2019<\/h2>\n

\u201cThe surge in open jobs has well outpaced the 200 percent increase in value that cryptocurrencies have undergone since August 2017,\u201d Glassdoor noted.<\/p>\n

Despite the price volatility over the last year, continued growth in job openings suggests that blockchain employers remain confident in the market opportunity and continue to make long-term investments in their teams.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The survey was not the only one to identify the increasing trend. In September, analysts found<\/a> the number of Asian opportunities had increased 50 percent since 2017.<\/p>\n

Going forward, despite the blockchain industry, in particular, attracting mixed publicity<\/a> recently, its longer-term growth seems somewhat more assured, says Glassdoor, adding:<\/p>\n

While the ultimate staying power of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technologies remains to be seen, the blockchain job market seems primed to continue its rapid growth into the near future.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
