The Displacement Domino Effect

When the media talks about AI replacing one job, which others come up in the same article? We mapped 376 occupations and 845 co-mention connections from our news pipeline.

Key finding: Jobs cluster into tight "displacement ecosystems." The legal cluster (Lawyers → Paralegals → Legal Secretaries) and the software cluster (Programmers → Developers → QA Engineers) are the densest — when AI hits one role in the cluster, the entire professional hierarchy gets discussed. These aren't isolated job risks. They're ecosystem risks.

  • Each node is an occupation that appears in 3+ relevant articles from our news pipeline. An edge connects two occupations when they're both tagged on the same article — meaning they were discussed together in the context of AI and workforce impact.
  • Node size reflects total article mentions. Color reflects average AI displacement risk score. Edge thickness reflects the number of shared articles.
  • Layout computed via ForceAtlas2 (Jacomy et al., 2014). Rendered with Sigma.js.
