On January 7, 2025, LinkedIn News UK published its “Job trends 2025: The 25 fastest-growing jobs in the UK” list, where the role of interpreter comes in at #22. LinkedIn calls the list “Jobs on the Rise” and considers them indicators of areas of career opportunity based on data collected over the previous three years.
Mentioning both spoken and sign language interpreters, the ranking cites interpreting, translation, and consecutive interpretation as the typical skills required for these professionals. Interpreters are most in demand in translation and localization, museums, historical sites, zoos, and interestingly, transportation equipment manufacturing.
The LinkedIn data points to London, Manchester, and Glasgow as the top UK locations where interpreters are being hired. The average experience required is 2.2 years, with most interpreters working remotely (73%) or in hybrid positions (8%). The rest can be assumed to work on-site, but this figure is not included in the list.

Yes, thankfully the search for interpreters is on hype, despite AI apps due to refugees and immigration growing.
In the US (I suppose it's similar in the UK) job opportunities for medical interpreters, court interpreters, and social interpreters in many language pairs are on the high. I just hope the new government policies don't ruin this.
