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
Skills are the ones each posting names. Programming languages have their own article. 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.
