Hey Friends!

A while back I ran into a cool research visualiztion tool that scores 342 occupations and roughly 143 million U.S. jobs against BLS data.

It has pay, education, projected growth, and "digital AI exposure," all in one view.

As a marketer, I wasn’t sure what I would see. If you're on the hunt, you probably have a very sub-optimistic view of the market (and anyone who's in tech is always loudly pessimist)…

but the results show completely differently.

A few that I found interesting:

Market Research Analysts (+7% projected growth)

Faster than the national average for all occupations. The role sits at the intersection of pattern recognition and storytelling, which is exactly where AI gets used as a multiplier instead of a replacement. Hirers still need someone who can frame the data for a room full of skeptical executives.

Web Developers and Digital Designers (+7% projected growth)

Counterintuitive given how loud the "AI is replacing developers" narrative has been. The demand for new builds keeps outpacing the productivity gains. More tools, more sites, more systems, and more people needed to ship them.

Advertising, Promotions, and Marketing Managers (+6% projected growth)

The strategic seat at the table isn't going anywhere. Brands still need someone accountable for the number, the budget, and the plan. AI is shaping how these managers work, not whether they get hired.

What I'll tell you firsthand is this:

The Columbus job market has gone nowhere but up since this newsletter started, and this week is stacked!

Onto the listings.
