Rankings

Six fixed cuts of the register, each answering one question. For anything else, the explorer filters and sorts all 830 occupations by verdict, sector, score and employment.

High-paying jobs that are safest from AI

Occupations scoring SAFE on the register, ranked by what they actually pay. The intersection most people are looking for and almost nobody publishes: not the safest jobs, and not the best paid, but the ones that are both.

SAFE means 67 or above out of 100. Floor of 50,000 US workers, because a well-paid, safe occupation of 900 people is not an option most readers have.

The jobs most exposed to AI

The lowest scores on the register: occupations whose core tasks current AI can already do at usable quality. Exposure is not a claim that anyone has automated them — every page says whether a named employer actually has.

Floor of 50,000 US workers. Tiny occupations make more dramatic lists and worse information.

The jobs safest from AI

The highest scores on the register. Overwhelmingly work with a body in it, a licence attached to it, or a person on the other side of it — usually all three.

Floor of 50,000 US workers.

The largest occupations in America, scored

Ranked by how many people actually do them. This is where AI exposure stops being abstract: the top ten alone account for tens of millions of jobs, and they do not score the way the discourse assumes.

No floor — this list is the floor.

Jobs that are safe from AI and still growing

Safe on the register and adding people in the real world. Resistance to automation is worth little in an occupation shrinking for other reasons, so this cut requires both.

SAFE, at least 100,000 workers, and headcount up across the published series. Ranked by growth.

Occupations already losing people

Ranked by how much headcount they have actually lost, not by what any model predicts. Worth reading beside the score: several were shrinking long before generative AI, and a low score is not the cause of a decline that started in 2017.

Floor of 50,000 workers, and only occupations with a comparable series.
