Frequently asked questions

Will AI replace Roofers?

The Index cannot predict whether AI will replace an individual Roofers role. Its 22/100 score is a relative estimate of task exposure, not a probability of job loss.

What does the exposure score mean?

The published value is 22/100, in the Shielded band. Higher values indicate greater estimated exposure within the model. It is not a measured share of tasks or a government employment forecast.

What wage and growth figures are available?

The source profile lists $48,290 median annual wage and 5% projected growth, with no source projection window recorded. Check original source dates and local conditions before treating those as current opportunities.

Can my personal assessment differ?

Yes. A generated assessment can consider the tasks you describe; an occupation-based fallback uses a broader baseline. Both are estimates. A different result is not proof that your job has changed.

Sources and methodology

The score is a relative index of task exposure from 0 to 100. It is not a percentage chance of losing a job or a forecast of layoffs. Individual tasks, employer choices, adoption, and regulation all matter.

The Index uses stored BLS-based occupation data. O*NET, OECD capability indicators, and task-exposure research are contextual references. The derivation of the stored occupation scores is not reproducibly documented in the published dataset.

The source snapshot does not record the wage-survey year or employment-projection window. Check the original BLS release before treating these figures as current. Editorial changes and export dates do not establish data freshness.
