The bottom line

Only about 5% of Fence Erectors 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 occupation is overwhelmingly physical, as evidenced by top Work Context scores like Wear Common Protective Equipment (4.94), Outdoors, Exposed to All Weather Conditions (4.76), and Spend Time Standing (4.46). Top Work Activities such as Performing General Physical Activities (3.89) and Handling and Moving Objects (3.72) reinforce this. While there is minor use of IT tools (seg 43) for planning, the majority of tools belong to industrial segment 27 (e.g., steel post pounders, digging spades), keeping the core value-producing work firmly in the pure physical domain.
