Running standard statistical analyses, generating charts, cleaning data, writing SQL queries, and producing summary reports from structured data.
Where humans stay essential
Framing the right question, identifying data quality issues, interpreting results in business context, communicating insights to non-technical stakeholders, and making judgment calls on methodology.

12-Month Outlook
Rule-based, not a prediction
What To Do Next
This estimated role shows some offset potential, but it depends on demand and transition pathways holding up across the blended occupation set.
What helps
- A meaningful share of the work can likely be reorganized around AI rather than removed outright.
What could slow it down
- Current demand support is thin, so offsets may take longer to show up.
- Employer-side pressure is still elevated in nearby functions.
