India Job Market Visualizer GitHub ↗

A research tool visualizing 211 occupations across the Indian economy — from agricultural labourers and ASHA workers to software developers and IAS officers. Each rectangle's area is proportional to estimated employment. Color shows the selected metric. Toggle between employment growth outlook, median pay (₹), education level, and AI exposure.

Data sources: All 211 occupations use verified 2024–25 Indian survey data: PLFS 2023-24 (MOSPI), NASSCOM FY2025, IBA Wage Settlement 2024-25, NMC 2023, INC 2023, UDISE+ 2023, NHM 2024, 7th Pay Commission, SIAM 2024, CITI 2024, FHRAI 2024, MNRE 2024, and other sector reports. Figures are labelled ✓ Verified 2025 in tooltips. AI Exposure scores are LLM-generated. Informal sector income (domestic workers, farmers, street vendors) reflects survey medians — individual earnings vary widely.

View the AI Exposure scoring prompt (India-adapted)

You are an expert analyst specializing in the Indian labour market and the impact of AI on employment. Rate each occupation's AI Exposure on a scale from 0 to 10 — how much will AI reshape this role? India-specific adjustments: - When labor is very cheap (e.g. ₹8,000/month), automation is less economically attractive even if technically feasible — this slows AI adoption for low-wage informal work. - BPO/IT: India's outsourcing sector is globally exposed to AI — score very high. - Informal sector: Physical, in-person, relationship-based work has natural barriers even when AI could theoretically substitute. Calibration anchors (India): - 0-1 Minimal: Agricultural labourer, construction labourer, sanitation worker - 2-3 Low: Mason, carpenter, auto rickshaw driver, domestic worker, ASHA worker - 4-5 Moderate: Nurse, school teacher, police constable, retail sales executive - 6-7 High: Bank clerk, CA, journalist, insurance agent, hospital administrator - 8-9 Very high: Software developer, data analyst, BPO agent, content writer, graphic designer - 10 Maximum: Data entry operator, telesales agent (fully scripted)

Data confidence note: Government pay scales (7th CPC, IBA), PLFS wage data, and statutory body headcounts (NMC, INC, NHM, UDISE+) are high-confidence figures directly from official publications. Private sector salary medians have ±15–25% uncertainty — they are informed estimates from the above industry reports, not line-by-line extractions from each report. Employment growth outlook percentages are directional estimates; India has no official occupation-level projections. AI Exposure scores are always LLM-generated (Google Gemini 2.5 Flash via OpenRouter).
