# Engineers

> SOC minor group 17-2000 within Architecture and Engineering Occupations — 35 detailed occupations.

- **SOC minor group:** 17-2000
- **Canonical URL:** https://singulariki.com/occupation-groups/engineers
- **Frame:** "AI exposure" means task overlap, not jobs lost. Figures below are aggregates over the group's member occupations, each traced to a named public dataset.

## Scale & pay

- **Employment (BLS OEWS, May 2024):** 5,404,950.
- **Median wage:** $109,660.
- **Projected growth (BLS 2024–34):** 6.6%.
- **Annual openings:** 354.9.

## AI exposure

- **AI task-overlap (mean across member occupations):** 82nd percentile (High) — Eloundou GPT-overlap + Felten AIOE; task overlap, not automation.
