High exposure in a high-income service economy
The United States sits near the upper part of the exposure distribution even though the country story is not reducible to one goods-producing sector.
Country diagnostic
United States
A guided country diagnostic on automation exposure, advanced-service routines, and high-income scale.
The United States sits high in the country-conditioned exposure distribution and leans more toward substitution than augmentation, but it does not read like a narrow manufacturing case. The strongest signals concentrate in tellers, billing, brokerage, reception, customer service, scheduling, and other document-heavy routines, making it a useful diagnostic for how advanced service work appears inside the atlas.
The United States is the first North America country diagnostic and completes the first broad geographic spread of the program. It also gives the United States-China comparison a stronger anchor by showing what is distinctive about the US profile on its own terms.
What stands out
Headline takeaways
Substitution leans ahead of augmentation
The current country profile tilts more toward substitution than augmentation, while still remaining a descriptive task-based measure rather than realized adoption or labor-market displacement.
Transaction-heavy service routines dominate
The strongest signals sit in tellers, billing, brokerage, reception, customer service, scheduling, and related document-heavy routines that scale across a large advanced service economy.
