The filing counts its employees by segment and its corporate staff (a), so the business support and corporate shares are stated counts.

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 62% desk work, 28% people work and 10% 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 39% of the working time stays with people (conversation, in-person and hands-on work), 43% becomes checking a model's work and 16% could be handed over with lighter checks, from the industries' own figures, not the company's roles.
