Occupation-level analyses (e.g., BLS OEWS cross-occupation wage regressions) risk misleading conclusions about AI’s distributional effects because they aggregate over the task- and firm-level heterogeneity that drives the mechanism.

Occupation-level regressions using BLS OEWS (2019–2023) are insufficient for testing the model’s task-level predictions because aggregation across tasks and firms hides the mechanism.
