An open research project combines occupation forecasts, education-program data, and studies of AI’s economic value and fluency.
- For
- College leaders, workforce planners, and AI researchers
- Worth noticing
- Its workforce modeling combines federal employment and wage data with O*NET task data and observed AI use, across multiple scenarios.
Field notes
The modeling section says forecasts draw on federal employment and wage data, O*NET task data, and observed AI use, with results run across scenarios and reported as ranges rather than single-point predictions. A separate education strand codes U.S. community-college mission statements, strategic plans, and core competencies; the site says its pre-registered work tests possible changes in entry-level hiring, while proposed diagnostics and delegation scenarios are still marked as coming soon.
