AI research contextStatic research release; checked annually

What it measures

  • AI applicability by occupation (6-digit SOC 2018)

What it does not measure

Most misreadings of labor data come from asking a dataset a question it was not built to answer. These are the limits worth holding onto.

  • Whether jobs will be replaced
  • Adoption by employers

Update cadence

Static research release; checked annually.

Occupation pages name the specific release behind each figure and when it was imported, so you can see how current a number is rather than assuming it is new. More on that on about the data.

How JobMarketHealth uses it

  • Exposure context on the AI & Jobs page and occupation AI panels.
  • Research data, CC BY 4.0. Never an input to the Job Market Health score.

Where it sits

This dataset is AI & Jobs research context. It is never an input to the Job Market Health score. Read the methodology.
