Insights
- Among the four occupation groups, computer occupations are projected to see the strongest growth of 11.7% overall – This is an industry that already started to adopt AI. BLS projected them to use AI to augment work, instead of AI replacing the jobs.
- Three occupations under the business and financial operations occupation group (credit analysts, claims adjusters, examiners & investigators, and isurance appraisers) are projected to have negative growth – these are the occupations with standard tasks that are most likely to be replaced by AI.
