How the sector splits

Of the 66, 0 occupations clear 70 and count as high risk, 37 sit between 40 and 69, and 29 fall below 40.

Exposure follows the tasks inside a role rather than the field it sits in, so two jobs that share a sector can still land far apart. The whole published set averages 31 across 961 occupations in 21 sectors. How scoring works

Every education occupation, most exposed first

Rank is against the full published set, not against the sector. Every occupation here is backed by at least two distinct published studies.

The evidence behind these scores

Each score aggregates published academic and industry estimates for that occupation, calibrated onto a common scale before they are combined. Across education, the thinnest occupation rests on 2 sources and the best evidenced on 10. Occupations backed by fewer than two distinct sources are not published at all, here or anywhere on the site.
