Why this score

Terrazzo workers face moderate displacement risk as AI and robotic systems begin handling layout estimation, material mixing calculations, and surface grinding tasks that were once done entirely by hand. Your core skills — custom inlay work, color blending on-site, and finishing irregular surfaces — remain difficult to automate because they demand spatial judgment and physical dexterity in unpredictable jobsite conditions. However, the economics of automating repetitive grinding and polishing steps are becoming attractive to larger contractors. The question is whether you'll be the one operating and programming those machines, or whether they'll reduce the number of workers needed on a crew.
