The number of job postings requiring AI skills has grown eight times faster than the overall labor market over the past five years, according to the PwC AI Jobs Barometer 2026 study, based on the analysis of over one billion job postings across six continents.
New postings were split by PwC specialists into two spheres: “professionalized” roles and “democratized” AI roles. The first involves the use of AI to automate routine tasks, giving more importance to judgment and expertise. The second sphere uses AI to make technical activity more accessible to non-experts. According to PwC, demand for the first category of roles is growing faster.
