How this is built. Median pay and the full distribution come from filed U.S. wage data (BLS OEWS + DOL/LCA filings); AI exposure blends O*NET task content with model-based automation potential; escape routes are computed from skill overlap between occupations, then ranked by how much safer + better-paid the move is. This joins real distributions and projects them forward — it needs the real distributions and the skill graph, not a guess. Figures describe group medians and trends, not any one person's outcome.
