How earth drillers, except oil and gas are reshaped as AGI capability advances.

Only about 5% of Earth Drillers, Except Oil and Gas 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 role's tool distribution is heavily weighted toward physical machinery, with 12 tools in segment 20 (prior=0.00) alongside core drill rigs and downhole hammers. Top Work Activities strongly emphasize physical labor, including 'Controlling Machines and Processes' (4.52), 'Repairing and Maintaining Mechanical Equipment' (4.44), and 'Operating Vehicles, Mechanized Devices, or Equipment' (4.19). Work Context reinforces this with high scores for wearing protective equipment (4.77), spending time using hands to control tools (4.67), and working outdoors in all weather (4.36), driving the digital scalar to near zero.
