Will AI Take This Job: The Index

Automation Exposure Index #1: The entry-level canary and the vacancy that predates ChatGPT

Issue #1 of the weekly Automation Exposure Index. Three converging datasets — an NY Fed job-postings study, BLS occupational employment counts, and the Stanford Canaries working paper — show customer service and entry-level software jobs contracting while overall unemployment in AI-exposed occupations stays lower than in less-exposed ones. Includes the standing skeptic anchor on why discovery roles resist displacement, plus a ranked exposure table for 7 key occupations.
