Four relative bands (Low / Moderate / High / Very high)
831 detailed occupations in the BLS Employment Projections table. Assigned per National Employment Matrix (NEM) code, so occupations sharing a NEM code carry the same band
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.

Occupation information
ILO occupational description
Medical and Dental Prosthetic Technicians
Medical and dental prosthetic technicians design, fit, service and repair medical and dental devices and appliances following prescriptions or instructions established by a health professional. They may service a wide range of support instruments to correct physical medical or dental problems such as neck braces, orthopaedic splints, artificial limbs, hearing aids, arch supports, dentures, and dental crowns and bridges.
Tasks
(a) examining, interviewing, and measuring patients in order to determine their appliance needs, and to identify factors that could affect appliance fit;
(b) conferring with medical and dental practitioners in order to formulate specifications and prescriptions for devices and appliances;
(c) interpreting prescriptions or specifications to determine the type of product or device to be fabricated, and the materials and tools that will be required;
(d) making or receiving casts or impressions of patients' torsos, limbs, mouths or teeth for use as fabrication patterns;
(e) designing and making orthotic and prosthetic devices using materials such as thermoplastic and thermosetting materials, metal alloys and leather, and hand and power tools;
(f) fitting appliances and devices onto patients, testing and evaluating them, and making adjustments for proper fit, function and comfort;
(g) repairing, modifying and maintaining medical and dental prosthetic and supportive devices, according to specifications;
(h) bending, forming, and shaping fabric or material so that it conforms to prescribed contours needed to fabricate structural components;
(i) fabricating full and partial dentures and constructing mouth guards, crowns, metal clasps, inlays, bridgework and other aids;
(j) instructing patients in the use and care of prosthetic or orthotic devices.
Audiology technicians create and service hearing aids and hearing protection products. They dispense, fit and provide hearing aids for those who need them.
prosthetist-orthotistESCO 3214.3
Prosthetist-orthotists design and custom fit prostheses and orthoses for individuals who are missing a limb from accident, disease or congenital conditions or for individuals who have impairments, deficiences or weaknesses due to injury, pathology or congenital malformation. They mix patient care with the design and fabrication of these devices to address their patients' needs.
