THE AI SKILLS SALARY PREMIUM

Summary from the TLDR Marketing newsletter

The SEO job market has quietly repriced around AI skills. Roles with AI in the title pay about 27% more at the median. Jobs that mention AI in the description still pay about 25% more, around $100K vs. $80K. Most of this demand is hidden. Only 15.5% of postings include AI in the title, but 59.5% require it in the description. That means 4 out of 5 higher-paying roles are missed if you filter by title alone. The premium shows up at mid-level and above. At senior levels, AI is expected, not optional.
