AI Boom Fuels Unexpected Tech Job Growth

Contrary to fears, the rise of artificial intelligence is projected to significantly boost tech sector employment. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics forecasts a more than 10% increase in jobs within professional, scientific, and technical services—more than double the national average—between 2023 and 2033. This growth is driven by the increasing complexity of AI systems, demanding more skilled professionals for development and management. Data scientists, information security analysts, and computer research scientists are expected to experience some of the fastest job growth, exceeding 30% in many cases.
