What this does and does not mean

Exposure means a model could plausibly do a meaningful share of the tasks in this job. It is not a forecast that the job disappears, and it says nothing about whether any employer will actually automate it.

For what the labour market expects, the Bureau of Labor Statistics projects employment in this occupation to change by +5% between 2025 and 2035, with about 100,900 openings a year.

Which parts are exposed

  • Supervise employees or subcontractors to ensure quality of work or adherence to safety regulations or policies.
  • Report violations of compliance or regulatory standards to duly authorized enforcement agencies as appropriate or required.
  • Direct the preparation and submission of regulatory agency applications, reports, or correspondence.

What named employers said they would pay

From certified US Department of Labor visa filings. These are wages employers committed to for sponsored roles — not company-wide averages, and not necessarily what everyone in the job earns. Cells with fewer than three filings are withheld so no individual’s pay is identifiable.
