AI jobs on the rise, new LinkedIn report finds

-

Technical roles — specifically those focused on artificial intelligence —are the fastest growing jobs in the U.S. according to LinkedIn's Jobs on the Rise list, out Tuesday.

https://www.axios.com/2025/01/07/ai-jobs-on-the-rise-linkedin-report

Why it matters: 60% of the jobs are new to the list this year, and roughly half of these professions didn't exist 25 years ago.



State of play: LinkedIn examined millions of jobs that platform users started between Jan. 1, 2022 and July 31, 2024 to calculate a growth rate for each job title.

Leading the list is artificial intelligence engineer.

  • Artificial intelligence consultant is No. 2.
  • Physical therapist is third, workforce development manager fourth and travel adviser fifth.

Zoom in: Tech and engineering titles are also in demand with bridge engineer (No. 18), nuclear engineer (21), and instrumentation and control (I&C) engineer (24) all making the list.

The big picture: Despite mass layoffs within the tech industry, AI expertise remains a top skill as companies across sectors lean on AI to increase innovation and efficiency.

  • As of November 2024, there had been 16,591 new AI job postings — a 59% increase since January 2024 — with California, Washington and Texas serving as hotspots, according to the University of Maryland and LinkUp's AI job tracker.

Yes, but: There is still demand for in-person connection.

  • Travel and event roles also rank high on the list, signaling a shift toward more in-person gatherings in 2025.

The bottom line: While AI is not yet coming for your job, humans who understand how to prompt and engineer AI might.

The RADIO framework provides a strong foundation for designing APIs and system integrations with consistency and maintainability in mind

  System Integrations & API Design: The RADIO Framework The RADIO framework provides a consistent, maintainable, and scalable approach to designing APIs and system integrations. It stands for Resource-oriented, Addressable, Documentable, Idempotent, and Observable. Resource-Oriented (R) Principle Focus on nouns (resources) over verbs (actions). 1. Aspect Implementation Detail Maintainability/Consistency Impact API Endpoints Use nouns in the URI (e.g., /users, /products/{id}). Employ standard HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, PATCH) for CRUD operations. Predictability: Developers easily infer endpoint purpose. Clarity: Leverages standard REST principles, separating the what (resource) from the how (action). Data Models Define stable, versioned schemas (JSON/XML) for resource representations that reflect the resource's state. Decoupling: Protects consumers from internal system changes by maintaining a stable external API contract. 2. Addressable (A) Principle Every resource ...
