Before adding responses, please ensure they are in the BLS National Employment Matrix. Only job title line items listed here qualify.
This prediction market investigates the employment landscape of 2032, focusing on specific occupations that continue to be performed by humans amidst technological advancements. The assessment will utilize data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), specifically from the detailed occupations listed in the BLS National Employment Matrix.
Resolution Criteria
YES: This outcome will be selected if any specific occupation listed as a line item (e.g., "Software Developer") in the BLS National Employment Matrix shows a growth of over 5% between 2022 and 2032. This growth rate indicates that the occupation is not declining relative to population growth, signifying a sustained or increasing demand for human workers in that role.
NO: This outcome will be chosen if the specific line item occupations in the BLS National Employment Matrix exhibit a growth rate below 5% in the given timeframe, implying a decrease or stagnation in human-operated roles due to automation or other factors.
N/A: This option applies if the BLS data for the specified period is unavailable, incomplete, or inconclusive; if the occupation titles do not fit the specific line item format (e.g., generalized titles like "Software and web developers, programmers, and testers"); or if unforeseen circumstances render the question irrelevant or unanswerable by the end of 2032.
Resolution Time
This question resolves in June of 2033 to ensure there is time for the BLS to gather data from 2032.

Please note that job titles like this will resolve N/A. The criteria is "any specific occupation listed as a line item (e.g., "Software Developer") in the BLS National Employment Matrix." Look under "occupation type" to find which ones are considered line items, and which are summaries.
This is to make resolution easier, otherwise people could point to one particular doctor (e.g., Oral and maxillofacial surgeons) and say because this has increased, "Doctors" as a whole should resolve YES.
