Methodology

What To Do Next

Offset potential: Medium Separate from the core score. This estimates how much demand, redesign room, and transition support could cushion pressure.

Semi-conductor technician has some offset potential, but it depends on task redesign holding up in practice and on workers clearing the main switching frictions.

Demand support: Low Transition support: Medium Reallocation room: Medium Switching friction: High

What could slow it down

  • Current demand support is thin, so offsets may take longer to show up.
