Statistician

Most exposed tasks

Highest structured exposure values in this role’s task mix — the work AI systems can already do most of.

• Run statistical analyses60

Augmentable tasks

Work where AI assists rather than replaces — the productivity frontier of this role.

• Analyze and interpret statistical data to identify significant differences in relationships among sources of information.57
• Report results of statistical analyses, including information in the form of graphs, charts, and tables.57
• Prepare data for processing by organizing information, checking for inaccuracies, and adjusting and weighting the raw data.57

Most durable tasks

Lowest exposure — typically judgment, relationships, physical presence, or accountability. This is the human moat.

• Advise on methodology28
• Interpret and communicate results34

Task exposure values and classifications come from the versioned data release — they are structured data, not model output. Bars show exposure contribution relative to this role’s task mix.

What this means

A score of 45 puts Statistician in the second quartile of analyzed occupations. In practice, exposure this level is about the mix: 1 of 20 analyzed tasks lean automatable, 17 augmentable, and 2 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: adopt AI deliberately on the augmentable tasks and build visible evidence of the durable ones.
