The bottom line

Only about 10% of Nonferrous Metal (except Aluminum) Production and Processing 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: Though the child occupations lack explicit digital scores, the industry lens and description describe heavy physical manufacturing ('smelting, refining, rolling, drawing, extruding'). The employed occupations listed (e.g., Pourers and Casters, Rolling Machine Setters, Foundry Mold and Coremakers) perform almost entirely manual and machine-tending labor, pointing to a highly physical focus.
