The bottom line

Only about 15% of Laundry and Dry-Cleaning 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: The top Work Activities ('Handling and Moving Objects', 'Performing General Physical Activities', 'Controlling Machines and Processes') and top Work Contexts ('Spend Time Standing', 'Pace Determined by Speed of Equipment', 'Spend Time Using Your Hands') all point to highly hands-on, equipment-driven labor. While there are 11 tools in the IT/software segment (seg 43) for POS and scheduling, the core value-producing work is heavily manual, anchoring the scalar firmly in the physical band.
