Reading these numbers

Partially imputed estimate 24.2% of Fremont County's employment sits in industry cells that federal data suppresses for confidentiality; those cells were estimated by imputation before scoring. Treat this county's figures as approximate estimates.

Exposure is not a job-loss forecast. The score measures how much the tasks that make up a county's jobs overlap with what current AI systems can do. High exposure can mean augmentation, automation, or neither — it marks where change is likely to arrive first, not how it will land.

County occupation mixes are estimated from each county's industry mix using national staffing patterns, not observed directly. Employment counts cover jobs in the unemployment-insurance system ("UI-covered employment"), which excludes most self-employment, gig work, and some farm work.
