AI adoption in US job postings, by profession

Based on 3,595 unique job postings with text, week of Oct 26, 2026. Updated October 26, 2026. The signal is weekly: every Sunday the corpus grows and this page refreshes.

Sample of US job postings (selected metros, weekly) + public ATS boards (Greenhouse/Lever/Ashby, tech-skewed). Denominator = postings with text; postings without extractable text are excluded. Detection is regex on a curated list of 23 AI tools (ChatGPT, Copilot, Claude, Gemini, …) — presence, not depth.

FAQ

What this page means

01What does the % of postings with AI mean?
It measures how often employers ask for AI tools in the job postings we collect: if a posting mentions ChatGPT, Copilot, Claude or another tool from our curated list, it counts. It is presence, not depth — a posting that mentions a tool once and one that requires deep fluency count the same. Read it together with the risk score and the weekly demand trend, not as a verdict.
02Why is some professions' percentage missing?
We only publish a percentage when at least 10 unique postings with text have been observed in a week. Early weeks build the baseline; the series grows every Sunday.
03Why is the Google Trends panel labeled "estimate"?
Google normalizes its search-interest index (0–100) independently for each query, so the values are a relative estimate per tool and are not comparable across tools. It is a separate, context signal from the % of postings — useful for freshness, not for ranking tools against each other.
