An infographic was recently published by MBAOnline.com that presents us with statistics on how many people are using social media to search for jobs, in what ways those people are using social media to find jobs and how effective social media is at landing new jobs. Some of the infographic highlights include

• 16% of employees found their current job using social media (up from 11% in 2010).
• 90% of those seeking jobs have a social media profile.
• Over 36 million Americans say they landed their job by using either Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn.
• 50% of job hunters last year used Facebook to look for a job.
• A higher percentage of males use social media for job hunting than females.
• Jobs found on LinkedIn pay significantly higher than those found on Facebook or Twitter.
