24 March, 2020 | AtoZ Markets – The blockchain industry is accelerating its "de-emergence to reality", and there is an increasing demand for blockchain professionals in various sectors. But on the other hand, the imbalance between supply and demand in the field of blockchain talent is still increasing. The severe lack of high-end professional skills is becoming one of the constraints that restrict the development of the industry.

Very Few Professional Meets the Job Requirements
Thus, there is a rapid increase in the number of job seekers. But very few talents meet the requirements of the companies that recruit, according to the study. The report continues:
"In the supply market, a large number of practitioners blindly follow the trend. Their professional skills are weak, and there is a serious shortage of practical compound talent".
China has strengthened its engagement in the blockchain. Its president called on the country to accelerate the adoption of blockchain at the end of October 2019. However, the decrease in the average sum of blockchain job salaries is entirely unexpected. However, the recent professional study is still correlated with some reports released earlier this year.
Earlier this month, the People's Bank of China (PBoC), secured special funding for the blockchain business platform worth $ 4.7 million over the next three years. It would contribute to the growth of the blockchain trade finance platform. It is the most sustained and highest chain business chain project at the national level.
