Retail Sales Workers
How retail sales workers are reshaped as AGI capability advances.

Only about 15% of Retail Sales 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: Because the grounding block lacks specific tools or work activities, this score relies on the seeded occupation description and the deterministic SOC code prior of 0.05. The anchor notes primary employment in physical, face-to-face settings like general merchandise retailers, gasoline stations, and building material dealers, indicating the value-producing work is inherently in-person and bound to physical locations. It is therefore assigned a band-center value for the physical band.
