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 Affecting This Occupation
Apr 2026: Healthcare posted record Q1 high at 23,520 cuts. AI diagnostic tools, automated admin workflows, and scheduling AI changing the equation. AI was #1 March cut reason overall.
[Source: Challenger March 2026]Apr 2026: OpenAI workplace report (Apr 2026): Healthcare ranks among the lowest-adoption industries due to patient-data and HIPAA constraints, not because clinicians wouldn't benefit. Documentation assistance is the leading edge; direct clinical-workflow integration remains blocked.
[Source: OpenAI — ChatGPT Usage and Adoption Patterns at Work (April 2026)]Apr 2026: Registered nurses flagged as insulated; physical and relational necessity (bedside care, calming patients) sits outside what AI can substitute.
