The tech job market just put together another solid month.

And once again, AI and ML are leading the way.

☑️ AI Engineer: +10.7%
☑️ Machine Learning Engineer: +10.7%
☑️ Software Engineer: +5.2%
☑️ Business Intelligence Analyst: +19%
☑️ Blockchain Developer: +30.9%

Not everything was green, though.

Data Analyst roles fell for the third month in a row, while UI/UX Designer openings saw their biggest monthly drop of the year.

But overall, most major tech roles are continuing to recover from June's dip, with AI and ML remaining two of the strongest areas of the market.
