Ruby on Rails

Software & technology · O*NET

Ruby on Rails is a software tool tracked in the Web platform development software category of O*NET's Technology Skills file. It appears in the technology profile of 23 occupations that together employ about 7,958,710 workers, with a median wage of $108,970.

Across the occupations that use it, the work is 88th percentile for AI task-exposure (High) — how much of what those jobs do overlaps with what today's AI can attempt. That measures the exposure of the work, not the value of the tool or any sign it is being replaced. See where every tool category sits →
