Nonmetallic Mineral Mining and Quarrying
How nonmetallic mineral mining and quarrying are reshaped as AGI capability advances.
The bottom line
Only about 10% of Nonmetallic Mineral Mining and Quarrying 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 mechanical, physical processes such as mining, quarrying, crushing, grinding, and washing nonmetallic minerals. Although the child occupations lack computed digital scalars, their names (e.g., Rock Splitters, Earth Drillers, Dredge Operators, and Explosives Workers) strongly indicate hands-on, heavy equipment-based labor in the field. Because the value-producing work is entirely physical extraction and beneficiation, the digital scalar is set very low.

Business-as-Code
Read as an executable program — the work decomposed into Code, Generative, Agentic, and Human.
Nonmetallic Mineral Mining and Quarrying sits inside a larger value-flow — 1 parent structure it composes into. The hierarchy is grounding, not the story: it tells you which aggregate exposure Nonmetallic Mineral Mining and Quarrying inherits.
Nonmetallic Mineral Mining and Quarrying links to 3 entities via `specializes` — a real edge on the economy graph, surfaced here so the claim stays grounded in data rather than assertion.
Nonmetallic Mineral Mining and Quarrying is itself composed of 3 parts that flow up into it — the sub-units whose work, summed, is what AGI capability re-prices here first.
