What this means

A score of 19 puts Helpers--Painters, Paperhangers, Plasterers, and Stucco Masons in the least-exposed quarter of analyzed occupations. In practice, exposure this level is about the mix: 0 of 11 analyzed tasks lean automatable, 1 augmentable, and 10 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.

One next move: lean into the durable core above and adopt AI on the routine remainder before it becomes a mandate.

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.
