The bottom line

Only about 10% of Masonry Contractors 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 description explicitly details highly physical construction tasks such as masonry work, stone setting, and bricklaying. Although the employed occupations lack pre-computed digital scalars, their titles (e.g., Brickmasons, Paving Equipment Operators, Plasterers, and Cement Masons) clearly describe manual, hands-on trades where value is produced physically in the field, keeping the digital scalar very low.

Autonomous Agents as digital employees

Which of this work becomes digital labor — performed under typed authority, promoted to autonomy on track record.
