The site's findings raise a couple of big questions, such as “Who knew anybody in New Zealand still works in railway manufacture?” and “What the heck is ‘program development’ when it’s at home?”.

LinkedIn developed its “savviness” ranking by measuring two variables: the ratio of connections that men have compared to the ratio of connections that women have, and the ratio of male to female LinkedIn members, the company said.
The professional network, which has 100 million members worldwide, and more than 350,000 in New Zealand.
