People on the Move in the Social Business Industry, Feb 27, 2012

Want to know where the social media jobs are? Business Insider covers this growing career, showing how some social media marketing managers are earning $117,000 a year in Silicon Valley.

Both the submissions on this job announcement board, as well as available social media positions at corporations continue to pour in. In this continued digest of job changes, I like to salute those that continue to join the industry in roles focused on social media, see the archives, which I’ve been tracking since Q4, 2007.
