The bottom line

Only about 15% of Facilities Support Services is information work today — the rest is physical, and moves slowly. The exposure is concentrated in the back office: the books, the paperwork, the scheduling, the marketing.

Why: Based on the NAICS description, the value-producing work of this industry consists of janitorial, maintenance, trash disposal, security, and laundry services. These are overwhelmingly hands-on, manual tasks requiring on-site human physical presence, placing the industry firmly in the physical band.
