Red Hat Enterprise Linux
Skill in demand · Lightcast
Red Hat Enterprise Linux is a specialized skill in the Lightcast Open Skills taxonomy — the vocabulary employers use to describe what work requires. It maps to 14 occupations that together employ about 4,013,220 workers, with a median wage of $101,875. Its reach across the occupation map is moderate. The occupations that use it sit, on average, at the 90th 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.
