We’ve all heard talk (and plenty of Reddit anecdotes) about threats to software-developer employment from A.I. However, research by James Bessen found that employment for this occupation has continued to rise , at least in the United States. I think Bessen’s research was based on the Current Population Survey, so inspired by his work, I put together a simple interactive dashboard that visualizes employment trends, by age range and occupation, within recent CPS data. My results, which include three additional months of data (e.g, February to April 2026), align with his own findings. (I also created a separate dashboard that groups all age ranges together.) Given the relatively small sample size for many age/occupation combinations, these results should be interpreted with caution. Yearly intervals will be more reliable than shorter ones. submitted by /u/BX1959
