Dental hygienists are projected to increase by about 18,000 from 2025 to 2035. Luis Alvarez/Getty Images The Bureau of Labor Statistics classified 831 jobs based on their exposure to AI. Twenty of the low-exposure jobs earned median pay of at least $75,000 last year. Several of those high-paying jobs are projected to grow, including roles in healthcare. Dental hygienists are among the high-paying jobs projected to grow and have relatively low exposure to AI .

BLS classified 213 of 831 occupations as having low exposure. "'Low' relative AI exposure generally indicates that the requirements of an occupation do not match well with the current capabilities of AI models, and that LLMs have not been observed performing many of the occupation's tasks," BLS said.
