Butchers and Meat Cutters
How butchers and meat cutters are reshaped as AGI capability advances.
The bottom line
Only about 10% of Butchers and Meat Cutters 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 grounding hints strongly indicate pure physical work. The tools are dominated by physical segments like 48, 27, and 23 (knives, meat saws, and choppers), despite some incidental software use (segment 43). Top work activities include 'Performing General Physical Activities' and 'Controlling Machines and Processes'. The work context cements this with near-maximum scores for 'Spend Time Standing' (4.86), 'Spend Time Using Your Hands' (4.78), and 'Exposed to Hazardous Equipment' (4.32), yielding a very low digital scalar.
