Update on #Jobs … #AI and #Compensation: “55% of companies surveyed (by the salary data company Payscale) said they are not offering any pay premiums or bonuses to employees who have upped their AI skills. The survey which gathered more than 3,400 responses from managers, directors, executives and other company representatives, found that just 14% offer higher base pay, 10% offer bonuses and about 9% offer long-term incentives for building AI skills. … (Nevertheless) companies are already adding AI-related skills to job requirements, with 31% saying they have done so for at least some non-IT jobs. About 33% said they have not changed any role expectations due to AI. … The majority of companies that responded to the survey are not replacing workers with AI and have no plans to do so in the future. However, roughly 13% are moving forward with plans to replace roles with AI, while 17% are considering it, according to the report. When ranked by industry, construction had the highest share of companies saying they were working to replace workers with AI tools, at 27%. About 19% of business service companies and 17% of technology companies said they were actively replacing workers with AI.” From the article “More Employees Prioritize AI Skills” published March 6, 2026, in Business Journals by Andy Medici – U.S. journalist.  For more #ThoughtsAndObservations about Jobs, AI, Retraining and other trends related to #ArtificialIntelligence and the #Workplace go to https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/gen-ai-current-future-shifts-employment-training-michael-temkin-bngdc/
