The bottom line
Only about 10% of Utilities 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 defines the Utilities sector around heavy infrastructure services, including electric power generation, water treatment, and sewage disposal. The child roll-up corroborates this with a single known component (Power Generation and Distribution Machinery and Accessories) carrying a pure physical score of 0.00, indicating the core value-producing work relies heavily on physical plant operations and field maintenance.
