Industries index: AI impact per sector
Industry rollups across the calculator's priority-occupation set. Each industry page aggregates the per-occupation exposure data, BLS industry-level context, and the relevant WEF 2025 skills outlook.
/industries/healthcare/
Healthcare
Healthcare is one of the largest US industry groups by employment and the fastest-growing by absolute job creation through 2035. The sector spans hospitals, ambulatory care, residential care, and home health, plus the clinical and administrative occupations that support them.
/industries/finance/
Finance
Finance covers banking, insurance, investment management, accounting, and the corporate-finance functions inside non-financial firms. The sector is heavy in knowledge work and is among the most-exposed by ILO 2025 generative AI exposure measures.
/industries/legal/
Legal
The legal industry covers private practice law firms, corporate legal departments, public sector legal work, and the support functions that sustain them. The sector is among the most-exposed knowledge work by ILO 2025 measures, with document review and research feasible for current generative AI.
/industries/retail/
Retail
Retail covers consumer-facing physical and online sales, plus the back-office operations (merchandising, supply chain, customer support) that support them. The sector is bifurcated by AI exposure: customer-service back-office work is highly exposed, frontline store roles are not.
/industries/technology/
Technology
Technology covers software development, hardware engineering, internet services, and the tech-adjacent functions (product management, data, design) that build and operate digital products. The sector is the largest employer of the occupations Brookings 2024 classifies as augmentation-prone.
/industries/education/
Education
Education covers K-12 schools, higher education, special education, and the support occupations that operate them. The sector is among the lowest-exposure knowledge industries by ILO 2025 measures, dominated by in-person instruction and student development work.
/industries/creative/
Creative Industries
Creative industries cover advertising and marketing, design and visual content, journalism and publishing, translation and localisation, and the creative-adjacent functions inside non-creative firms. The sector is among the most-exposed by ILO 2025 measures across content-production tasks.
/industries/manufacturing/
Manufacturing
Manufacturing covers factory production, fabrication, assembly, and the engineering and skilled-trades occupations that support them. The sector is among the lowest-exposure for generative AI, though it faces a distinct disruption category from robotics and process automation.
/industries/government/
Government
Government covers federal, state, and local public-sector occupations across administration, regulation, public safety, and policy work. The sector mirrors the wider exposure profile of professional services occupations, with knowledge work exposed and frontline public-safety work not in scope.
/industries/hospitality/
Hospitality
Hospitality covers hotels, restaurants, food service, tourism, and the customer-facing service occupations that operate them. The sector mixes lowest-exposure physical-service roles with highly-exposed back-office customer-service and admin work.
