How many connections does the average LinkedIn user have?

Question

Most LinkedIn users have less than 500 connections. This is true of 54% of LinkedIn users, which is by far the largest segment. The next-largest is the 27% that have between 501 and 999 connections, followed by 12% who have 1,000 to 1,999, and 3% with 2,000 to 2,999.

The number of connections LinkedIn users have depends on their experience level and how many professional connections they've made over the years, but also their goal in making those connections.

Those who simply want to use LinkedIn to stay in touch with people they actually know or want to reach out to potential employers will likely have fewer connections than those who are trying to create as large of a network as they can in order to create as many opportunities for themselves as possible.
