US jobs and pay
What Automation roles pay in the US
Source: US Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Outlook Handbook (Median pay May 2025 · projections 2025–35 · read October 2026). BLS does not publish pay under these job titles: each role is shown against its closest occupation, at the median or, for senior and architect roles, the top 10%. Openings and growth are for the whole occupation. These are US-wide estimates, not job postings and not a promise of pay.
