How electricians are reshaped as AGI capability advances.

Only about 5% of Electricians 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 listed toolset entirely concentrated in IT/software (UNSPSC segment 43, including PLC and calculation software), the core work is overwhelmingly physical. Top work activities include 'Performing General Physical Activities' (4.71) and 'Handling and Moving Objects' (4.28). The work context firmly places this occupation in the pure physical band, driven by 'Wear Common Protective or Safety Equipment' (4.95), 'Spend Time Using Your Hands to Handle, Control, or Feel Objects' (4.94), and being 'Exposed to Hazardous Conditions' (4.59).

Read as an executable program — the work decomposed into Code, Generative, Agentic, and Human.
The work of Electricians engages 41 activities — the executable steps that, decomposed, reveal what becomes Code, what stays Human.

Which of this work becomes digital labor — performed under typed authority, promoted to autonomy on track record.
Electricians performs 21 tasks on the graph — the atomic work units that become the job description for a digital employee, promoted to autonomy on track record.

Electricians is typically employed by 301 company types — the demand side that decides which of this role's tasks get handed to agents, and on what authority.

Electricians is employed across 229 settings — the places where this role's work is done, and where digital employees first sit beside the humans.

The software here going agent-consumable — where the API, not the UI, becomes the way the work gets done.
Electricians uses 164 tools today. As each gains an agent-consumable surface (API / MCP / SDK), the human UI stops being the only way in — and the work routes straight to an agent.
+152 more via usesTool
Electricians relies on 40 products. The headless dimension of each — whether an agent can call it without a screen — is what decides how much of this work goes hands-free.
+28 more via uses
The software Electricians reaches for already exposes 12 agent-callable actions (via uses → exposedBy) — typed surfaces an agent invokes directly, no human screen in the loop. The work routes to the API, not the UI.
