The Great Reallocation

A source-backed research brief on AI, labor demand, and workforce restructuring. Public charts on this page now run only on current BLS occupation data, live ATS board aggregates, and official-source layoff disclosures.

Scope

This brief is limited to what can be sourced directly today: BLS occupation outlook pages, live public hiring boards, and a small confirmed layoff log with direct source links. Broader sector, geography, and displacement models return only after their inputs are auditable end to end.

BLS occupation outlook

Source-backed

Verified occupation outlook across selected exposed roles

Question this chart answers: How do current BLS growth projections and median pay compare across a small set of occupations relevant to the AI labor-market debate?

Every point on this chart comes from the current BLS Occupational Outlook Handbook. It is a compact comparison chart, not a proprietary displacement model.

Current open roles by original posting week

Question this chart answers: How is the current live inventory distributed by original post week across the boards we monitor?

This chart is built from the current open snapshot, then bucketed by original posted date. It is not a frozen historical series, so older weeks can shrink as roles close.

Current openings by role family

Question this chart answers: Which role families account for the largest share of current openings on the tracked company boards?

Families are grouped from live job titles on the tracked boards. This chart shows the current open inventory rather than a modeled trend.

Open roles by tracked company

Question this chart answers: Which tracked company boards hold the largest current inventory of open roles?

This chart is a direct count of currently published jobs on the boards we poll. It is useful for concentration and board-health checks, not as a claim about the whole labor market.

What this brief can support

  • Current BLS baseline facts for selected occupations: employment, pay, and projected growth.
  • Current hiring-board aggregates across a disclosed set of AI-company career pages.
  • Confirmed workforce reductions when the source document is a filing or an official company release.

What is still withheld

  • Modeled displacement ratios and velocity curves.
  • Geographic heat maps built from unaudited model output.
  • Posting-trend and seniority estimates that do not yet have a public provenance trail.

Research note

This is a public research brief built from auditable source material. It is narrower than the full research protocol by design, and it stays that way until the broader displacement, geography, and sector models are rebuilt on verified datasets.
