- Women accounted for just over a quarter of new hires in U.S. AI roles last year, compared with roughly half of new hires in non-AI occupations, per new LinkedIn data released Tuesday morning.
- LinkedIn framed AI jobs as among the fastest-growing and highest-paying positions, underscoring the stakes of the hiring gender gap the data reveals.
Why it matters: The gap appears in the specific labor market segment the source flags as fastest-growing and highest-paying, meaning women are being shut out of the highest-leverage corner of the tech hiring surge as AI expands across the U.S. economy.
