By Lucas Mearian With companies shifting gears when it comes to the skills they want in new hires and current employees, online education providers are quickly compiling lists of generative AI (genAI) courses to meet demand. While there are still more tech job openings than tech workers available to fill them, job-seeking technologists need to tweak their industry knowledge to get hired. Internally, enterprises are upskilling and reskilling workforces to address a flurry of genAI projects, even as most are still pilots. Not surprisingly, creating, training and securing genAI is becoming a top ...

By Lucas Mearian The adoption of generative artificial intelligence (genAI) has shuffled the list of top skills businesses want from professionals in 2024, according to a new job site study and education industry data. Far from replacing workers, genAI appears poised to transform the way technologists and others work, allowing them to focus more on creative tasks such as product development, and less on mundane tasks that can be automated. Freelance employment platform Upwork recently released a study of freelance worker earnings for all of 2023 and found genAI and data science and analytics s...

By Lucas Mearian While many users see generative artificial intelligence (genAI) technology as automation tools that will eliminate many of today’s jobs, most in the IT industry see it as a generator of knowledge jobs. That’s because genAI tools such as ChatGPT and Midjourney can help eliminate mundane tasks, freeing up workers to take on more valuable creative roles and be more productive. GenAI is also expected to “democratize jobs.” That is, the technology will enable employees without computer science degrees to create applications using AI-augmented coding. Already, many companies see tha...

By Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols The business environment is better than ever, but that isn't stopping many tech companies from laying off employees. At the same time, numerous other organizations — often poorly run ones — insist remote workers return to the office (RTO) in the name of better productivity. The reality is that incompetent leaders are scapegoating employees working from home for bad company performance. And then, there are the companies doing both. Dell is the latest example of a business that appears to be trying to force workers back into the office with the ulterior motive of get...

By Lucas Mearian The top 10 highest paid skills in tech can help workers earn up to 47% more — and the top skill among them is generative artificial intelligence (genAI), according to a new report from employment website Indeed and other sources. For example, the top three skills — genAI, system-on-a-chip (SoC) and deep learning — each command an annual salary north of $170,000. This year, the median salary for IT skilled workers is $101,323, according to IT business consultancy Janco Associates. Half of the highest-paid skills in tech are AI-specific, which suggests that job seekers with AI t...

By Lucas Mearian Tech companies such Google, Amazon, Meta (Facebook) and others laid off tens of thousands of workers last year as an adjustment to over-hiring during the COVID-19 pandemic. But the firings have not abated in 2024. In January, job cuts leaped 136% over December and hit a 10-month high, according to a newreport by outplacement firm Challenger, Gray and Christmas. The surge in firings was led by the tech and financial services sectors. (In fact, Cisco may be eyeing significant layoffs.) US-based employers announced 82,307 cuts in January, compared to 34,817 cuts the month before,...
