Skill in demand · Lightcast

Node.js is a specialized skill in the Lightcast Open Skills taxonomy — the vocabulary employers use to describe what work requires. It maps to 10 occupations that together employ about 3,783,250 workers, with a median wage of $105,645. Its reach across the occupation map is moderate. The occupations that use it sit, on average, at the 87th percentile of AI task-exposure ( high) — a measure of how much the work overlaps with what AI can do, not of the skill's value. See where every skill sits.

This page is built from a crosswalk that maps each occupation's O*NET knowledge, skill, and ability requirements to the named Lightcast skill — it reflects which jobs require the skill, not a direct count of job postings. Employment and pay are BLS OEWS national figures for the occupations, not for the skill itself.
