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

By the patterns, the work is about 49% desk work, 14% people work and 37% 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 49% of the working time stays with people (conversation, in-person and hands-on work), 41% becomes checking a model's work and 5% could be handed over with lighter checks, from the industries' own figures, not the company's roles.
