Jobs more exposed to artificial intelligence are seeing faster advertised-pay growth than less-exposed roles, suggesting employers are placing greater value on skills that AI can augment or transform rather than simply eliminating skilled work. Indeed Hiring Lab found median advertised pay in more AI-exposed jobs rose 46% since 2021, compared with 25% for less-exposed jobs. The difference is limited among entry-level roles but becomes more pronounced higher up the career ladder, while job postings in more AI-exposed occupations have also rebounded over the past year. The broader labor market remains divided: many highly AI-exposed occupations, including software developers and management analysts, are high-paying and projected to grow between 2025 and 2035, while physician assistants and dental hygienists combine high pay with low AI exposure and projected employment growth. Public concern about displacement is increasing, with 71% of U.S. adults telling Pew Research Center that AI will mean fewer jobs over the next two decades, up from 64% in 2024. At the same time, consumers and workers are adopting AI tools, including personal AI agents and chatbots.
