LinkedIn industries: the full list with V2 codes (2026)

LinkedIn classifies every company - and, indirectly, the jobs they post - with an industry code. If you work with hiring data, recruiting tools, or account research, you hit these codes constantly, usually as opaque numbers like 4 or 96 with no label attached. This is the full reference: all 434 industries in LinkedIn’s current V2 taxonomy, mapped to their numeric codes and grouped by top-level category.

What LinkedIn industry codes are

Each industry has a stable integer ID and a human label. LinkedIn shipped two generations of this taxonomy. The original list (“V1”) had roughly 147 flat industries. The current list (“V2”, rolled out in 2023) expands that to 434 industries arranged in a hierarchy - 20 top-level groups such as Manufacturing and Technology, Information and Media, each with nested sub-industries several levels deep. The codes are what LinkedIn’s data exports, ad targeting, and APIs actually use; the labels are just for humans.

How the codes relate to job and company data

Industry is a company attribute, not a per-posting field - a job inherits the industry of the organization that posted it. That is what makes it useful for segmentation: it lets you slice hiring activity by sector (“how many Software Development companies are hiring SREs”) or build an ICP filter (“only Hospitals and Health Care and Financial Services”). A few practical notes:

• Codes are stable; labels occasionally get renamed. Store the integer, not the string.
• A company has one primary industry, so the mapping from jobs to industries is many-to-one through the employer.
• The hierarchy lets you roll up - the top-level group Manufacturing (25) is broader than the leaf Semiconductor Manufacturing (7).

Using industries with the JobsPipe API

JobsPipe’s search filters on job and company attributes - title, company name, country, remote, posted date - rather than on LinkedIn’s internal industry IDs directly. The taxonomy is still useful as a planning layer: resolve the companies in an industry you care about, then pull their live postings by company name. For example, sourcing across software companies:

curl https://api.jobspipe.dev/v1/jobs/search \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer jp_live_your_key_here" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "company_name_partial_match_or": ["Stripe", "Datadog", "Snowflake"],
    "job_title_or": ["engineer"],
    "posted_at_max_age_days": 14
  }'

Every match comes back in the same normalized shape - title, company, location, parsed compensation, and the source apply URL - so you can attach live hiring activity to an industry-segmented account list.
