Andrej Karpathy just mapped every job in the US economy by AI exposure. 342 occupations scored 0-10. The results are brutal for anyone who works on a screen.
Here's what the data shows:
1. 42% of all US jobs score 7 or higher for AI exposure. That's 59.9 million jobs. $3.7 trillion in annual wages sitting in the blast radius.
2. Software developers score 8-9. Financial analysts, accountants, management consultants, bookkeepers, customer service reps. All deep red. If your output is text, code, or spreadsheets, you're competing with something that doesn't sleep.
3. The safest jobs? Roofers. Plumbers. Electricians. Construction laborers. Nurses. Truck drivers. The jobs that require hands, not keyboards. All scored 0-3.
4. The weighted average across ALL 143 million US jobs is 4.9 out of 10. The entire economy is halfway exposed. Not a sector. Not an industry. The whole thing.
5. Education doesn't protect you. Bachelor's and master's degree holders are MORE exposed than trade certificate holders. The more your job is "thinking work" done on a computer, the higher your score.
Everyone spent 20 years telling kids to skip the trades and get a desk job. The desk job is what's getting automated first.
