The bottom line

Only about 10% of Leather and Hide Tanning and Finishing 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: The NAICS industry description centers entirely on physical manufacturing (tanning, currying, and finishing hides and skins). While specific child occupation scalars are unknown, the employed roles are exclusively manual and mechanical (e.g., Textile Bleaching and Dyeing Machine Operators, Shoe and Leather Workers, Laborers), firmly placing the value-producing work in the physical band.
