Compare Occupations Side by Side
Curious how automation and AI could affect your career? Our comparison tool lets you view two or more jobs side by side, helping you quickly spot differences in risk level, pay, growth, and popularity. All of this is based on a mix of academic research, user polling, and official labour data.
Job Score
A quick summary of how a job performs overall — factoring in wages, growth, volume, and automation risk. It’s a handy way to see the bigger picture at a glance.
Polling Data
Thousands of visitors cast their votes on how “automatable” each job feels. These community insights are shown alongside the calculated probabilities.
Growth & Wages
See how fast each occupation is projected to grow and what people earn on average. High wages don’t always mean high security — automation risk still matters.
Volume of Workers
Explore how many people currently work in each occupation and in which year the data was recorded. Popularity can affect how disruptive automation will be for the wider economy.
The Snowflake Diagram
Each snowflake visualises the balance between automation risk, wages, growth, and job volume. Bigger and greener areas mean stronger performance in that dimension.
