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. (2023) published two rating regimes — human raters and GPT-4 — and the β shown here is derived from the GPT-4 rater basis alone; the same task can take a different value under the other regime. The unit and the meaning differ from the observed shares (%) in the other tabs, so do not place them on the same axis.

Recent Changes Related to This Occupation
Jul 2025: Brookings (Hui & Reshef, Jul 2025): freelancers offering copyediting, proofreading and other text-heavy services saw about 2% fewer new monthly contracts and 5% lower earnings after ChatGPT, and experienced, higher-rated freelancers lost more than junior ones, a result the authors call counterintuitive.
