A vehicle rental company whose filing states its total, its part-time count, its International segment's count and a union share, and nothing by kind of work, so the whole workforce takes the automotive rental pattern.
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: 19% now, 24% at the end of 2027, 26% at the end of 2028, 26% at the end of 2030. By the patterns, the work is about 26% desk work, 24% people work and 50% body work.
