Executive assistants score 23%, about half the figure for administrative assistants. The difference is the job itself: managing a senior person’s time, priorities and relationships relies on discretion and context that AI doesn’t have. The routine parts, from drafting to diary juggling, are where AI helps. The trusted gatekeeper part isn’t going anywhere.

How to read this: AI task coverage comes from the Anthropic Economic Index, which measures how people use Claude, not the whole labour market. Job postings data comes from Indeed Hiring Lab and reflects the wording of job ads, not actual AI use at work. Employment and pay are US figures unless stated. AI use is not the same as job loss; our verdict explains what we think it means.
