What this means
A score of 35 puts First-Line Supervisors of Material-Moving Machine and Vehicle Operators in the third quartile of analyzed occupations. In practice, exposure this high is about the mix: 1 of 20 analyzed tasks lean automatable, 8 augmentable, and 11 durable. The useful question isn’t “will AI take this job” — it’s which tasks go first, which get faster, and where to reposition time. That’s what the personalized report maps against your actual week.
Lower-exposure adjacent roles
No adjacent role in the current data release is at least 10 points lower with ≥50% skill overlap — we don’t label anything “safer” unless the data supports it.

How this score was calculated
The score is the plain average of the AI-exposure values of this role’s 20 analyzed tasks (equal task weights in this release — no hidden factors):
- Automatable 1 task, averaging 65/100 exposure
- Augmentable 8 tasks, averaging 46/100 exposure
- Durable 11 tasks, averaging 25/100 exposure
score = (1×65 + 8×46 + 11×25) ÷ 20 ≈ 35
Every task’s exposure value was scored against a published anchored rubric that scores tasks as actually performed — physical, in-person, and accountability requirements included (data release 2026.07.12-r2). The band (High) is a corpus quartile; the percentile is tie-aware across all 968 occupations.
