The 11% difference between AI scenarios reflects partial automation exposure. Some Registered Nursing & Nursing Administration career paths face displacement, but others in the field are more insulated.

The limited growth from $67,550 to $74,828 over five years suggests earnings in this field plateau relatively early in one's career.
