PwC's analysis of job postings and wage data finds AI is splitting roles into "professionalised" (AI automates routine tasks, human judgment gets emphasized) and "democratised" (AI lowers the skill floor) tracks. Professionalised roles are growing twice as fast with 42% faster wage growth; the AI skills wage premium hit 62%, up from 57% a year earlier.
