Methodology and Scoring Rationale

To score how resilient financial sales agent work is to AI, we ask one question in three parts:

First, how much of the job still needs a human, read from five AI-exposure sources: our own AI Resilience Model, Anthropic's Observed Exposure, Microsoft's AI Applicability, Will Robots Take My Job, and OpenAI Signals. We call this dimension Meaningful Human Contribution (MHC) and weight it at 40%.

Next, whether employers will keep hiring for this job over the long term. This dimension, which we call Long-term Employer Demand (LTE), is calculated from BLS data and weighted at 30%.

Last, whether pay and mobility will hold up. We use wage bill and adaptive capacity data from independent researchers (Althoff & Reichardt, 2026; Manning & Aguirre, 2026). We call this dimension Sustained Economic Opportunity (SEO) and weight it at 30%.

For financial sales agents, all eight sources had data and mostly agreed: AI Resilience Model, Anthropic, Microsoft, and OpenAI Signals all flagged low human contribution, with Will Robots Take My Job the lone outlier at medium. Moderate hiring demand and a high Adaptive Capacity score softened the blow, but low pay mobility kept the final label at "Somewhat Resilient."
