Technical writers score 47%. Turning complex information into clear instructions is something AI now does in seconds, at least for a first draft. The value shifts to accuracy, structure and knowing where users actually get stuck. Technical writers who learn to run documentation systems, rather than write every page, are best placed.

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.
