Data annotators, AI's lowest-paid role, lead LinkedIn's estimate of more than 750K new US AI jobs.
Its $51K median listed pay sits below the non-AI median.
Annotators added about 282K positions, ahead of roughly 117K data center jobs and 105K AI engineers, so those 3 categories supply 504K of the total.
Smaller gains came from about 29K heads of AI and 15K forward deployed engineers, the staff who embed with customers and turn vague AI ambitions into working software.
