How to read this

Observed use is not the same as replacement. A task can see heavy AI use while the job grows, because the remaining tasks, such as judgment, accountability, and dealing with people, become more valuable. That is the weak-link pattern behind the explainer.

Task lists and wages are US data. The tasks are broadly similar in other countries; pay and employment are not. For your own economy, see work and jobs by country.
