LinkedIn's study finds Millennials and Gen Z are capturing fast-growing, high-paying AI roles despite broader youth unemployment, with AI job postings surging and salaries well above average. However, women are significantly underrepresented in these roles, particularly in senior positions.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
Young tech workers in the US just gained a clear career edge in AI roles paying double typical salaries; you can use this momentum to lock in premium talent or switch careers. The exclusion of women from these roles also exposes a widening pay inequality and talent gap to exploit or address.
