Helpers--Production Workers
How helpers--production workers are reshaped as AGI capability advances.
The bottom line
Only about 10% of Helpers--Production Workers 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 the presence of some Segment 43 software tools (13), the work is intensely manual. Top Work Activities like Handling and Moving Objects (4.16), Performing General Physical Activities (4.03), and Controlling Machines (3.98) heavily push the scalar down. Work Context scores confirm a production-floor environment, characterized by Wearing Common Protective Equipment (4.94) and Spending Time Using Hands to Handle Objects or Controls (4.62), placing this firmly in the pure physical band.
