What to know

  • AI-exposed jobs have seen advertised pay surge 46% since 2021, vs. 25% for less-exposed roles, with the gap widest at senior levels.
  • Economist argues AI is revaluing skills rather than destroying jobs; job postings in exposed fields are rebounding.
  • Public anxiety persists: 71% of Americans believe AI will reduce overall employment over the next two decades, up from 64% in 2024.

“Solid growth in postings over the past year, alongside rising pay, is consistent with the skills in these roles becoming more valuable.”
