Over the course of the last year, Google was used to conduct well over 10 million individual job searches; yet, the question remains: which positions are the most sought after? And which nations are looking for them specifically?

The United Kingdom

According to the statistics, over 288,000 individuals in the United Kingdom have searched Google for teaching assistant positions in the last year. This indicates that people in the United Kingdom have a strong interest in the profession.
