Country Story
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.

North America peers plus the regional median.
Exposure profile
What kind of exposure?
High-exposure tasks account for 17.4% of United States's task bundle. Substitution-oriented exposure is 22.0%, while augmentation-oriented exposure is 5.3%. This matters for how the results are interpreted: 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.
Top occupations
Which occupations stand out?
The strongest modeled signals in United States sit in Tellers. These are the occupations with the strongest modeled exposure signal after transporting tasks through the weighted SOC-to-ISCO bridge.
Technology mix
Which technology channels dominate?
These shares describe the dominant technology channel across exposed tasks in the country bundle.
Key takeaways
What does this mean for United States?
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.
