Limits of this reading
- The filing counts no employees by segment, so the shares are by description (c).
- The data service's geography table shows all revenue outside the U.S., which contradicts the filing's 61% U.S. workforce; the reading uses the filing.

Questions about this company
- How much of Hubbell Incorporated's working time is within reach of AI?
- An estimated 17% now and 36% by the end of 2028, on METR's long-run pace at four in five, from the workforce Hubbell Incorporated'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 Hubbell Incorporated employ?
- 18,000 as of December 31, 2025, as its annual report for the period ending December 31, 2025 states. About 61% in the U.S.
- What kinds of work make up Hubbell Incorporated's workforce?
- Read from its annual report as a blend of 2 industry staffing patterns, the largest Other Electrical Equipment and Component Manufacturing; by those patterns the work is about 39% desk work, 16% people work and 45% body work. Each share has a one-sentence reason on this page that can be checked against the filing.
- What does Hubbell Incorporated's annual report say about AI?
- 6 sentences in the filing name AI. Its annual reports for fiscal 2021 to 2025 name it in 0, 0, 1, 1 and 6 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. A company can write to info@stratussc.com to have its reading checked against its filing.
