The April 2024 edition of the Douglas County Economic Indicators is attached and available on Quality Info.

 

From March 2023 to March 2024, employment grew by 330 (1%) in Douglas County. Growth was concentrated in the private education and health services industry, offsetting small losses in manufacturing and a larger decline in professional services. The unemployment rate is a seasonally adjusted 5.0%, down from the same time last year.

 

The special graph this month looks at roles with the most exposure to A.I. This categorization comes from the Pew Research Center, which ranked occupations into high, medium, and low exposure by job duties. The roles in the graph may see reduced employment through automation, or may see enhanced job duties and skills using A.I. techniques.

How A.I. will affect workers in these roles will vary widely. Many of the positions are clerk and assistant roles in a variety of fields, who may have routine research and categorization tasks done for them by A.I. assistants. Certain

drafting, design, and science occupations are also likely to use or complement automated creative processes.

 

This month’s articles included:                                                                                   

 

As always, the Indicators contain all the latest economic data on our area. If you have a data question or want to learn more about any of these topics, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
