Office and Administrative Support Occupations
Across the 50 of this group's 54 occupations with published Colorado employment, 301,150 Coloradans work in office and administrative support occupations (4 more occupations have no published Colorado estimate, so the true total is somewhat higher). Weighted by those published jobs, the group's mean exposure score is 52.1 of 100, and 73.4% of the jobs are in occupations where most or a large minority of tasks overlap with AI capabilities assessed in 2023.
Customer Service Representatives; Office Clerks, General; Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive — the largest of this group's 54 occupations in Colorado.

Where this work concentrates
The six counties where this group is the largest share of local jobs.

|---|---|---|---|
| Gilpin | 14.1% | 676 | Heavily imputed estimate |
| Crowley | 13.5% | 151 | Heavily imputed estimate |
