Current stress reflects today's unemployment, job-posting decline, and WARN notices and makes no assumptions about future AI adoption. Exposure counts the share of local jobs in occupations where AI is already being used for a meaningful share of the work — it describes how exposed a place is today, not what AI has done to it.
