Handling and Moving Objects
How handling and moving objects are reshaped as AGI capability advances.
The bottom line
Only about 12% of Handling and Moving Objects 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 reverse grounding hints show an exclusively physical distribution for this work activity (6 physical, 0 hybrid, 0 digital) with a weight-weighted mean of 0.12. The highest-importance occupations are inherently hands-on manual roles, including Hand Grinding and Polishing Workers (digital=0.05), Extraction Worker Helpers, and Electrical Power-Line Installers (digital=0.10).
