A cited, continuously refreshed view of how work changes.
New Bearings curates the history and projected future of individual occupations — employment, wages, tool eras, projection cones, current AI tools per task, adjacent career pivots — with sources on every claim. The consumer site is free. Teams that need the underlying dataset, or an embeddable timeline for their own product, work with us directly.
Who already finds this useful
University career offices and learning platforms use the time machine to show students the long arc of any profession they're considering — including the projection cone, so they see uncertainty honestly.
Journalists writing about specific professions get citable employment and wage history with embeddable viz, so the chart they put in the story stays accurate and sourced as the data refreshes.
Workforce-development agencies and policy researchers pull bulk dataset snapshots for sector-level modelling. Every datapoint resolves to a primary source.
What's in the dataset today
Cross-sectional coverage today: legal, healthcare, transport, creative, financial, administrative, technical. Geographic coverage: US-centric; UK and Canadian code mappings are on the roadmap.
How access works
Three shapes of access, sized to what you actually need:
JSON access to occupations, tools, pivots, historical profiles, and projection cones. Tiered by call volume.
Drop the scrubber into your own site or product, themed to match. Licensed per seat or per pageview.
Periodic full-dataset exports with refresh notifications. Custom curation work on request.
Pricing varies by access tier and volume. Tell us what you're building and we'll quote you in the first conversation — no drawn-out sales motion.
See the work
The time machines are public. Open one, drag the slider, look at the sources. This is what every other curated role looks like, and what an embeddable widget would let you put inside your own product.
A profession defined by document work, watching contract redlining and discovery review move into LLM tooling — with a calibrated projection cone showing how dramatically the future sources disagree.
Two centuries from horse teamster to long-haul trucker, with autonomous-vehicle projections that span everything from +9% growth to ~70% replacement.
From hand-lettering through DTP through Photoshop through generative AI — a creative profession that has reinvented itself every 20 years and is doing it again.
High-touch healthcare work where AI augmentation matters more than displacement. The historical view shows how prior tech waves (EMRs, monitoring) reshaped tasks without reducing headcount.
