By the patterns, the work is about 71% desk work, 25% people work and 4% body work.

- 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.
