Technology occupations across the US rose by 86,000 in August despite tech firms reducing staff by about 14,700 positions. Demand for AI skills and other tech roles like support, infrastructure, project management, and cybersecurity remains strong, with nearly 600,000 active tech job postings across multiple sectors.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of AI Frontier Models, AI Infrastructure and Cybersecurity.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You must prioritise AI skills and core tech roles as demand expands beyond tech firms into broader sectors. The surge in technology occupation postings means you can access new customers outside traditional tech companies.
