The bottom line

Only about 5% of Insulation Workers, Mechanical 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 work is overwhelmingly manual, evidenced by top Work Activities like 'Handling and Moving Objects' (4.48) and 'Performing General Physical Activities' (4.43), alongside Work Contexts requiring 'Common Protective or Safety Equipment' (4.92) and 'Climbing Ladders' (4.52). Although there is a minority of software tools (7 tools in segment 43) used for estimation, the vast majority of tools (like segment 27 knives and crimpers) and daily tasks are strictly physical, indicating a near-zero digital scalar.
