#AI jobs

Among US PM postings mentioning GenAI skills, about 1 in 7 request AI evals. Where evals are requested, roughly 4 in 5 ask for hands-on work. What the September 2026 snapshot supports—and what it cannot establish.

Every company wants to be an AI company. Far fewer want to hire for it. We measured 182,470 job postings and 568,663 tech CVs: employers mention AI four times more often than they ask for it.

We mapped the AI Engineer role from both sides — Skillenai's talent graph and job postings. Who feeds it, where they go next, and why the skills employers ask for don't match what workers list.

AI didn't torch the junior job market. A frozen labor market did — and the housing market, frozen by the same 2022 rate shock with zero AI, is the control group that proves it.
