Showing the 10 most-exposed occupations. Occupations for which BLS suppressed the state employment estimate are not shown. Worker counts are the real BLS SOC-level total distributed evenly across the O*NET occupations that share a SOC, so occupations sharing a SOC show an equal allocated share, not a separately measured count.

What this means for workers.
The AI Ready Score measures how exposed the average job in Michigan is to AI automation today, and how resilient the skill base is. A score of 62 out of 100 reflects meaningful skill durability relative to current AI tools. High-exposure roles still need attention.
Employment in AI-exposed roles is broadly stable, with pockets of change in high-exposure occupations.
This score is a starting point for policy planning, not a verdict on any individual worker. Retraining programs, apprenticeships, and pipeline investments can change outcomes. Check your own job at ready.jobroute.ai for free. No account needed.
