Questions about this company
- How much of Griffon Corporation's working time is within reach of AI?
- An estimated 18% now and 30% by the end of 2028, on METR's long-run pace at four in five, from the workforce Griffon Corporation'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.
- How many people does Griffon Corporation employ?
- 5,100 as of September 30, 2025, as its annual report for the period ending September 30, 2025 states.
- What kinds of work make up Griffon Corporation's workforce?
- Read from its annual report as a blend of 2 industry staffing patterns, the largest Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing (3323 and 3324 only); by those patterns the work is about 31% desk work, 13% people work and 57% body work. Each share has a one-sentence reason on this page that can be checked against the filing.
- What does Griffon Corporation's annual report say about AI?
- 7 sentences in the filing name AI. Its annual reports for fiscal 2021 to 2025 name it in 0, 0, 0, 0 and 7 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 20, 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. A company can write to info@stratussc.com to have its reading checked against its filing.
