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

Image
  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 ...

Take Back Control - It Starts with Emotional Awareness

Image
Have you ever felt like your emotions are running the show - making you react before you even realise what’s happening? You’re definitely not alone. The truth is, most of us live on autopilot, reacting to life’s ups and downs without fully understanding what’s going on beneath the surface.
