Women lag in high-paying AI jobs boom, LinkedIn study finds

Young workers are holding their own in the AI job market, according to new research from LinkedIn.

Why it matters: These jobs are some of the fastest-growing and highest-paying in the country

Families are betting their savings on private universities as a path to a better life. A shortage of well-paying work is turning that wager into frustration.
