- An estimated 19% now and 31% by the end of 2028, on METR's long-run pace at four in five, from the workforce Edgewell Personal Care Company's own annual report describes and BLS staffing patterns for its industries, never from a roster. It is an estimate with a stated method. It is not a forecast of jobs lost or of savings, and it says nothing about what the company will do.

- 6,700 as of September 30, 2025, as its annual report for the period ending September 30, 2025 states. About 30% in the U.S.

- Read from its annual report as a blend of 4 industry staffing patterns, the largest Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing (3321, 3322, 3325, 3326, and 3329 only); by those patterns the work is about 32% desk work, 13% people work and 55% body work.

- 1 sentence in the filing name AI. Its annual reports for fiscal 2021 to 2025 name it in 0, 0, 0, 1 and 1 sentences, year by year. They are counted and quoted on this page, never judged: a count says how much a filing talks about AI, not what the company does with it.
- How is this estimated?
- Claude Fable 5.1 read the annual report under the Index's written rubric (version 1) on October 19, 2026: the stated headcount, the share in the U.S. when stated, and the workforce as a blend of industry staffing patterns. The estimates are the site's industry estimates weighted by those shares, from O*NET tasks with estimated lengths and METR's measurements of how long a task AI models can finish.
