Public Perception on the Risk of Job Automation
User sentiment overview
The 'User sentiment overview' chart visualizes evolving views on job automation risks, showing both weighted and unweighted data. Points on the chart represent the monthly aggregated risk level, sourced from user votes and scaled from 0% to 100%, with 100% indicating maximum perceived risk.
The risk level is calculated in two ways. The unweighted average treats the votes from all occupations equally, meaning that the votes carry equal weight regardless of the size of the profession. On the other hand, the weighted average takes into account the size of each profession, with occupations having larger workforce carrying more weight in the average calculation.
