By level
Roles by the lowest qualification they accept: a role asking for a bachelor's or master's counts as a bachelor's.
| Qualification | Open roles | Share | Median pay |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bachelor's degree | 1,037 | 53% | $55 |
| Master's, PhD or professional doctorate | 961 | 49% | $80 |
| Professional licence or certificate | 306 | 16% | $80 |
Median pay is the middle hourly rate among the roles in that row that state one, in US dollars; each distinct rate on a platform counts once, and "up to" ceilings, per-task pay and paid studies are left out. A dash means fewer than five rates.

How we counted
Qualifications are the degrees, licences and certificates a posting requires; ones it only prefers are left out of the levels. Every figure is worked out from the open roles listed on aitrainers.jobs, re-checked hourly against each platform's own job board, and updates with them.
