Curtain Maker (Mid-Level) vs Embroiderer (Mid-Level)
How do Curtain Maker (Mid-Level) and Embroiderer (Mid-Level) compare on AI displacement risk? Curtain Maker (Mid-Level) scores 50.9/100 (GREEN (Transforming)) while Embroiderer (Mid-Level) scores 58.4/100 (GREEN (Transforming)). Here's the full breakdown.
Curtain Maker (Mid-Level): Core craft is physically demanding, spatially complex, and deeply bespoke — every window is different. AI augments fabric calculation and admin but cannot replicate the measuring, cutting, sewing, pleating, and installation that define the role. Safe for 10-15+ years.
Embroiderer (Mid-Level): Hand embroidery is one of the most AI-resistant crafts in the economy — zero observed AI exposure, irreducible physicality, and cultural value rooted in human artisanship. Machine embroidery tasks are transforming, but the core handwork is untouched. Safe for 10-15+ years.

What Do These Scores Mean?
Each role is assessed using the AI Job Resistance Index (AIJRI), a composite score from 0 to 100 measuring how resistant a role is to AI displacement. The score is built from five dimensions: Task Resistance (how many core tasks can AI automate), Evidence Calibration (real-world adoption data), Barriers (regulatory, physical, and trust barriers protecting the role), Protective Principles (human-centric factors like empathy and judgement), and AI Growth Correlation (whether AI growth helps or hurts the role).
Roles scoring above 60 land in the Green Zone (AI-resistant), 40–60 in the Yellow Zone (needs adaptation), and below 40 in the Red Zone (high displacement risk). For full individual assessments, see the Curtain Maker (Mid-Level) and Embroiderer (Mid-Level) role pages.
