AI displacement risk in personal services

Personal Services averages 24 out of 100 across 31 published occupations. That average hides more than it shows: Concierges scores 58 while Embalmers scores 8, a 50 point spread inside one sector. That is wider than the 42 point gap between the most and least exposed sector overall. In Personal Services, which role you hold tells you more than which sector you work in.

How the sector splits

Of the 31, 0 occupations clear 70 and count as high risk, 1 sits between 40 and 69, and 30 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 personal services 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.
