How much do data annotation jobs pay?
Are data annotation jobs legit?
Data annotation jobs can be checked. Level tracks 78 live annotation and AI training postings, led by xAI (22) and micro1 (10). Check that the employer is named with its own careers site, the posting states a pay rate (median $35 to $45 an hour on 29 postings), and nothing is paid to apply. Measured November 2026.
What does an AI trainer do?
An AI trainer writes, rates, or labels the examples a model learns from. 78 live postings describe that work under annotation, labeling, rater, or trainer titles; 47 are remote and 13 are rated Little AI or Uses AI. The biggest poster is xAI with 22 openings. Measured November 2026.
How many data annotation and AI training jobs are remote?
37 of 39 live data annotation and AI training jobs are remote, a 94.9% share. Across every category, 29,854 of 182,590 live jobs are remote (16.4%), so data annotation runs above the site average. Remote status is read from the posting's own location field, never inferred from the company. Measured November 2026.
Are there entry-level data annotation and AI training jobs?
5 of 39 live data annotation and AI training jobs are tagged intern or junior, and 2 are rated Little AI, where the work involves no AI at all. Seniority is read from the title and the posting text; 25,992 of 182,590 postings across the site do not state it, so these counts are floors. Measured November 2026.
