Wage Exposure Analysis

SGD 34.4 Billion

Est. annual wage pool inside high-pressure occupations

117 occupations (21% of 562) 605K Est. workers (25%) 21% of total wages

Employment figures here use a BLS-weighted proxy anchored to local employment totals. This is a wage-pool estimate, not a forecast of wages lost or jobs eliminated.

These figures represent structural AI pressure, not predicted job losses. Employment counts are proxy-weighted rather than official per-occupation headcounts. The model measures one side of the equation — displacement potential without reinstatement effects.
