What kind of figure this source publishes
The BLS category is a relative rank, not an absolute level, and it is not a first-hand measurement: it groups an occupation's percentile ranks across several published studies into four bands. It is not an employment or wage forecast, not a probability of adoption, and it does not separate automation from augmentation.

Values in this tab are predicted labels, not observations. Eloundou et al.

The unit and the meaning differ from the observed shares (%) in the other tabs, so do not place them on the same axis.

ESCO occupational vocabulary

- collection managerESCO 2621.3This occupation is broader
Collection managers ensure the care and preservation of objects within cultural institutions, like museums, libraries, and archives. Collection managers, along with exhibition curators, and conservators, play a very important role in collections care. They can be found in most large museums.
- exhibition curatorESCO 2621.5This occupation is broader
Exhibition curators organise and display artworks and artefacts. They work in and for museums, art galleries, museums for science or history, libraries and archives, and in other cultural institutions.

- exhibition registrarESCO 2621.6This occupation is broader

- mediation and education managerESCO 2621.7This occupation is broader
Mediation and education managers are in charge of all programmes, activities, studies and research concerning the presentation of the cultural venue's artefacts or programme to current and prospective visitors.
- zoo curatorESCO 1431.2.6This occupation is broader
Zoo curators are usually the position of middle-management within an institution. Much of their work involves oversight, management and development of the animal collection. Often this is related to animal husbandry and welfare policy, the acquisition and disposition of zoo animals, and development of new exhibits. Zoos normally acquire animals through captive breeding programs. The zoo collection, trade, and transport of the animals is regulated by government agencies as well as guided by zoo membership organisations. Consequently, zoo curators act as a liaison between these agencies and the zoo itself. Additionally, they play an active role in the administration of zoo functions and all kinds of captive breeding programs.
