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.
Task-level exposure
Exposed tasks onlyValues 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
Recent Changes Related to This Occupation
Mar 2026: Gupta & Kumar (arXiv, Mar 2026) list Personal Financial Advisors at an Agentic Task Exposure (ATE) score of 0.42 by 2027 in the San Francisco Bay Area (Tier 1), rising to 0.46 by 2030. With 55.9% of business and financial operations workers teleworking at least some hours, the paper argues exposure follows the employer's region rather than where the worker lives.
