An interactive five-chart data story showing how generative AI may affect Australian occupations unevenly through AI exposure, automation, augmentation, projected employment growth, and occupation shortage status.

This interactive data story explores how generative AI may reshape Australian occupations unevenly. Using open data from Jobs and Skills Australia’s Generative AI Capacity Study, Employment Projections, and the 2025 Occupation Shortage List, the visualisations compare AI exposure, automation, augmentation, projected employment growth, and shortage status across occupations. The story argues that AI exposure does not automatically mean job loss. Some highly exposed occupations may still grow or remain in shortage, meaning the bigger issue is whether workers have the skills, training, and support to adapt as tasks change. This project is presented in a five-chart format for Assignment 3: Storytelling with Open Data.
