Cohere Labs research: nearly half of jobs recognized by the US Department of Labor have no public tools enabling agentic AI to perform them. Where coverage exists, the top 10 jobs account for 44% of tool matches, and tools pile onto one or two broad task statements. Supply-side answer: for many jobs, nobody is building anything yet.
