About the data
- Source
- Mercor, A benchmark map of the US economy (opens in a new tab)The Benchmark Map, "Occupations covered" by job family (the page's own table and data); Kent Applied computed the shares
- Method
- Kent Applied counted, for each of the 22 O*NET job families, the occupations with at least one task that Mercor counts as covered (mapped to 5 or more prompts from its 29 benchmarks), using the data Mercor publishes in its Benchmark Map page. The counts reproduce Mercor's own totals: 208 of 923 occupations and 924 of 18,797 tasks. Mercor calls its results provisional.
