OBSERVED IN REAL USE · Anthropic 2026
4%
of this role’s work is already showing up in real Claude usage (Anthropic Economic Index).
Still standing — but the ground is warm.
56% of this role’s O*NET tasks are within reach of today’s AI. That is the core-weighted exposure score from Eloundou et al. 2023 (“GPTs are GPTs”). It measures a capability ceiling, not a headcount forecast. Heavily exposed. Most of the tasks are within reach of today’s AI.
WHAT AI CAN ALREADY DO
- Prepare, maintain, or revise quality assurance documentation or procedures
- Prepare hazardous waste manifests or land disposal restriction notifications
- Provide administrative support for projects by collecting data, providing project documentation, training staff, or performing other general administrative duties
- Write reports or articles for Web sites or newsletters related to environmental engineering issues
- Provide technical support for environmental remediation or litigation projects, including remediation system design or determination of regulatory applicability
WHAT IT STILL CAN’T
- Assess, sort, characterize, or pack known or unknown materials
THE HONEST PART. A percentage is not a pink slip. High exposure usually means a role shrinks and shifts toward judgment, direction and responsibility: the parts a model can’t sign its name to. Exposure ≠ displacement. Breathe.
"My job is 56% cooked. What’s yours?"
