What Will Your Kids Do?
An interactive look at AI exposure across 342 US occupations, including the jobs that are growing, well-paid, and safer from automation.
This is an interactive look at how exposed 342 US occupations are to AI, scored one job at a time. For each occupation it shows median pay, projected growth, the education the role usually needs, and an AI-exposure rating with the reasoning behind it. The point is to find work that is growing, well paid, and harder to hand to a machine.
What the tool shows for each job
- Median pay, hourly and annual
- Projected job growth and the outlook label
- The education a role typically needs
- An AI-exposure score, with the reasoning behind it
Which jobs are safer from automation?
The lower-exposure jobs tend to combine physical presence, hands-on judgment, or close human contact with steady demand and decent pay. The tool lets you filter for exactly that: work that is growing, well paid, and harder to automate.
