Summary
Registered nurses posted the highest AI resilience score at 82.2 in a ranking of 20 large in-demand U.S. occupations, ahead of home health aides at 72.7 and elementary school teachers at 70.0.
Only four jobs scored above 60, underscoring how uncommon strong resistance is as AI spreads; nursing assistants/CNAs were fourth at 67.4.
Healthcare, education and skilled trades ranked highest because hands-on care, classroom management, physical adaptability and real-world judgment remain hard to automate consistently.
Management, logistics and sales roles scored much lower—general and operations managers at 37.5, long-haul truck drivers at 36.0, freight movers at 29.9 and sales representatives last at 26.1.
The ranking suggests AI is more likely to automate tasks than erase occupations outright, increasing the value of empathy, creativity, leadership and problem-solving.
