North America was the fastest-growing region for the hiring of digital media jobs at drinks manufacturers in the first quarter of 2022, according to GlobalData.

The number of roles in North America made up 46.7% of total digital media jobs, up from 37.8% in the same quarter last year.

GlobalData tracks the number of new job postings from key companies in various sectors over time. Using textual analysis, these job advertisements are then classified thematically. The data and analytics group, Just Drinks’ parent company, seeks to group key company information by topic to see which companies are best placed to weather the disruptions coming to their industries.

By tracking the themes across job advertisements, GlobalData says it can see which companies are leading the way on specific issues and which are dragging their heels – and importantly where the market is expanding and contracting.
