Akamai Technologies, Inc. (AKAM)

Edge security, delivery and cloud infrastructure, 35% U.S. Read October 19, 2026 from the annual report for the period ending December 31, 2025, filed February 20, 2026. Ranked 24 of the 135 Technology companies read so far, by the share within reach now.

Akamai states over 11,000 employees in more than 30 countries at December 31, 2025, 35% in the U.S., grouped as engineering and research 37%, services and support 26%, sales and marketing 17% and administrative functions 20%, so the operating roles take the computing infrastructure pattern and the stated administrative share goes to management of companies (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: 28% now, 55% at the end of 2027, 68% at the end of 2028, 73% at the end of 2030. By the patterns, the work is about 73% desk work, 22% people work and 5% 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 27% of the working time stays with people (conversation, in-person and hands-on work), 57% becomes checking a model's work and 10% could be handed over with lighter checks, from the industries' own figures, not the company's roles.
