AI-Exposed Jobs See 46% Salary Surge Since 2021
Indeed Hiring Lab reports that salaries for AI-exposed roles have grown 46% since 2021, significantly outpacing less-exposed positions despite widespread public fear of job loss.
The Indeed Hiring Lab reports that median advertised salaries for jobs highly exposed to artificial intelligence have surged by 46% since 2021. This growth significantly outpaces the 25% increase seen in roles with lower AI exposure, with the most prominent gains occurring in senior-level positions within banking, data analytics, and software development.
Economist Jack Kennedy notes that the trend suggests AI is altering the specific skills the market values rather than replacing skilled workers. He points to a rebound in job opportunities for these roles over the past year as evidence that these skills are becoming more valuable.
Government and public perspectives on the long-term impact remain mixed. The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects employment growth through 2035 for both high-exposure roles, such as management analysts, and low-exposure roles, such as dental hygienists. However, a Pew Research Center survey found that 71% of US adults believe AI will reduce the total number of available jobs over the next two decades.
