Waltham, MA, March 25, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Salary.com® is the market leader in cloud-based total compensation management software and data solutions. Today the company announced the top 10 hottest jobs on the market. These jobs saw double-digit increases in salary. Despite concerns about the impact of AI on compensation, many jobs are still seeing substantial growth.
“AI may be getting the attention, but the war for talent is hotter than ever,” said Rebecca Gorman, Principal, Compensation Consulting at Salary.com. “Talent scarcity drives higher salaries, and each of these jobs is a linchpin of productivity. Any increase in their time to fill directly impacts the bottom line, so employers are willing to pay what they have to in order to minimize that.”

The war for talent continues across industries. When certain jobs are in high demand, salaries increase. This gives employees in these roles power to negotiate higher pay. To fill these positions, employers must adjust their pay scales accordingly. The ability to act fast and be nimble is vital. Knowing the competitive landscape is no longer a strategic advantage. It’s a necessity.
