ADT states approximately 12,200 employees at December 31, 2025, counting 1,600 field solution advisors, 3,100 installation and service technicians, 4,000 customer care professionals and 700 phone sales representatives, all in one security services business, so one pattern takes the whole workforce (a).
The figures on this page come from the company's own annual report and from BLS staffing patterns for its industries, never from a roster. They are estimates with a stated method. Nothing here says what the company will do: within reach is not a forecast of jobs lost or of savings.
What follows from the reading
Share of working time within reach of AI, on the long-run pace at four in five: 17% now, 20% at the end of 2027, 21% at the end of 2028, 22% at the end of 2030. By the patterns, the work is about 22% desk work, 24% people work and 55% body work. These are the site's industry estimates weighted by the shares below: estimates with a stated method and range, not a forecast of what the company will do. By the same patterns, at the end of 2028 about 79% of the working time stays with people (conversation, in-person and hands-on work), 17% becomes checking a model's work and 3% could be handed over with lighter checks, from the industries' own figures, not the company's roles.
