## How to read it

- A posting counts as an AI job if it lists at least one of the 300-plus AI skills in Lightcast’s taxonomy. Shares are of all online job postings Lightcast collects in each country.
- The other 11 countries, including the US, are in the [companion chart](https://aiadoption.org/data/ai-job-postings-share-by-country/). Series for Mexico start in 2020, and for Croatia, Austria, France, the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium and Switzerland in 2018.
- Lightcast revises historical counts, so earlier values may differ from previous AI Index editions.
