Equipping workers with insights about compensation

Workers are using ChatGPT to find wage information, sending nearly 3 million messages per day in the US asking about compensation, especially in fields where pay is hard to find or varies widely like creative work, management, and healthcare. The article describes how AI can help close the wage information gap by synthesizing pay data across multiple sources, which matters because better wage information helps workers make informed decisions about job applications, negotiations, and career moves. OpenAI introduced WorkerBench, a new benchmark tool, to evaluate how accurately ChatGPT provides labor market wage information compared to official government data.
