FAQ
What this number means
01Does AI adoption in postings mean my job is at risk?
Not necessarily. Adoption measures what employers ask for today — if postings start requiring AI tools, the role is integrating AI rather than being replaced. Read it together with the risk score and the weekly demand trend.
02Why is the percentage missing for some professions?
We only publish a percentage when at least 10 postings with text have been observed in a week. Early weeks build the baseline; the series grows every Sunday.
