"As businesses race to adopt AI, they're placing a higher premium on job candidates who know their way around the technology. A recent study from labor market research firm Lightcast found that jobs requiring AI-related skills offer higher annual salaries than those that don't. This is true not only in tech-heavy industries like IT and computer science but also across a range of other sectors."
"The researchers analyzed billions of job postings from the past 13 years, and identified 300 AI skills, including AI ethics, governance and regulation, natural language processing, and robotics. According to the report, job postings that listed just one AI-related skill offered an average salary that was 28% higher than those that didn't, a difference of around $18,000 per year. That figure jumped to 43% for postings that listed two or more AI skills compared to those that listed none."
Jobs requiring AI-related skills command higher salaries across many sectors, not only in traditional tech fields. Analysis of billions of job postings over 13 years identified 300 AI skills, such as AI ethics, governance, natural language processing, and robotics. Job postings listing a single AI skill show an average salary premium of about 28% (roughly $18,000), while postings listing two or more AI skills show about a 43% premium. Demand for AI skills is growing broadly across the labor market, and competition for AI talent is intensifying even as some newer graduates face hiring challenges due to automation of routine tasks.
