Cooks, All Other
If cooks, all other is what it says on your payslip, this page is about your job.
Why there is no score here
There is no score for this one, and there never will be: the official statistics publish no task list for it, so there is nothing to measure.
This is an “all other” category, which is how the statisticians sweep up work that does not fit a named job. The pay and employment figures below are real and official. If the work you actually do has its own title, that page will have a score, and the search below will find it.
We haven’t scored this one yet
Scoring a job means rating every one of its published tasks against what today’s AI can actually do, on five dimensions, and then showing you the working. That has not been done for cooks, all other yet, so there is no score on this page, and there is not going to be a placeholder one either.
When: This occupation is in the queue for the next quarterly release. Scores are published on a fixed schedule rather than when there is a reason to publish a headline.
What a score would tell you, and what it would not: it would tell you which parts of the published task list today’s tools can already do most of. It would not tell you whether your employer adopts any of it, whether customers accept it, whether the law permits it, or whether you personally are all right. Its absence is a gap in our work; it is not a verdict on your job.
This week: one thing, and it doesn’t need us
Write your own ledger before we publish ours. Take the task list on this page (it is the official one, word for word) and mark each line with an H or an M: is this a thing a person has to be there for, be responsible for or be trusted on, or is it reading something and writing something else? Twenty minutes, one sitting.
- What you end up holding
- your own split of your own job, on one page
- How long it takes
- about twenty minutes
If you’d rather not do it on your own: Do it out loud with someone who does the same job, or take it into a free session with CareerOneStop - Find local training. The list is the point, and two people arguing over which line is which is a better use of an evening than either of you reading another article about AI.
The two questions above are the same two the scoring rubric asks first. Doing it by hand gets you most of the way there tonight, and you know your own job better than any list does.
The official task list for this job
Word for word, as published, in the order the source publishes them. This is the raw material the score will be built from, and you can read it now.
No task statements have been loaded for this occupation yet either. That is the honest state of it, and it is the first thing that has to change before this page is worth much. How the task lists are built.

What is deliberately not here: a forecast of how many of these jobs exist in ten years. Where an official projection exists for a market we publish it with its vintage; where it does not, we leave the space empty rather than borrow the other country’s number.
You are reading the United States figures
The United Kingdom splits this work across more than one official group, of which Cooks is the closest. The pay and employment figures are not directly comparable, and we do not average them together.
Switch to the United Kingdom page →partial match
In UK official statistics this job is counted as Cooks. Pay and employment stay on this page’s own group; the task list and the scores do not cross over.

Why there is no community here
Collab365, who build this site, run paid Spaces for a small number of subjects, and none of them is built for this job. We are not going to point you at the nearest one and call it a fit.
So the free services listed on this page are the whole answer, and it is the same answer we would give a friend.
Noted, and thank you. We’ll email you if a Space for cooks / all other launches. Nothing else.
That did not look like an email address, so nothing was saved. Have another go below.
We could not save that. The fault is ours, not yours, and your address was not stored. Please try again later.
No deadline on any of this. The page will still be here, and the data is refreshed on a published schedule rather than when someone wants a headline.
Questions people ask about this job
- Will AI replace Cooks, All Other?
- We have not scored the tasks for Cooks, All Other (United States, SOC 35-2019) in release 2026-q4.1 yet, so this page shows no exposure figures for it. That is a gap in our coverage, not a finding about the job. When the tasks are scored, the numbers appear here and in the open dataset at the same time.
Where these numbers come from
Worth knowing about these figures
- The match between this job and its counterpart in the other country is partial, so the two pages count slightly different groups of people.
- This is a BLS "… All Other" statistical residual: it is a real published occupation with real pay and employment, but the taxonomy publishes no task statements for it, so no exposure score can be computed. The figures below are the official ones; the exposure section is empty because there is nothing to measure, not because the score is zero.
- Task clusters are not derived in this release, so the task-cluster field is empty and no Collab365 Space routing is attached to this occupation yet.

Figures on this page come from release 2026-q4.1, published 2026-08-05. Every release keeps its own permanent address, so a figure you cite in March is still there, unchanged, in November.
The plain-English wording on this page is assembled directly from the task statements and the published ratings, not written by hand for this occupation. That is why it is specific, and it is also why we say so.
The routes and free resources further up are today’s, not the release’s (last reviewed 2026-08-05). A route is an offer, not a historical fact, so it moves on its own clock.
