The bottom line

Only about 15% of Bakers 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: Despite a high concentration of IT/software tools (segment 43) used for recipe and inventory management, the primary value-producing work is highly physical. This is evidenced by strong work context scores for 'Spend Time Standing' (4.40), using hands to handle objects (4.05), and exposure to hot/cold temperatures (4.00), alongside top work activities like monitoring processes and materials (4.05).
