The bottom line

Only about 15% of Outdoor Power Equipment and Other Small Engine Mechanics 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 are Repairing and Maintaining Mechanical Equipment (4.65) and Handling and Moving Objects (3.92). The Work Context is highly physical, defined by using hands to handle tools (4.65), standing (4.49), and exposure to contaminants (4.34) and hazardous equipment (4.30). While there is some use of segment 43 IT/software tools and Working with Computers (3.71) for diagnostics and tracking, the value-producing work relies overwhelmingly on physical labor.
