Nu Skin Enterprises, Inc. (NUS)

Personal care products maker; distributors are independent. Read November 9, 2026 from the annual report for the period ending December 31, 2025, filed February 13, 2026. Ranked 20 of the 90 Consumer Defensive companies read so far, by the share within reach now.

The filing states approximately 2,800 full- and part-time employees at December 31, 2025, not including 5,800 sales employees in Mainland China, and describes one personal care and wellness products business with its own manufacturing, so the counted employees are read at the toilet preparations group by description.

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

Share of working time within reach of AI, on the long-run pace at four in five: 29% now, 34% at the end of 2027, 35% at the end of 2028, 35% at the end of 2030. By the patterns, the work is about 35% desk work, 14% people work and 51% 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 65% of the working time stays with people (conversation, in-person and hands-on work), 29% becomes checking a model's work and 6% could be handed over with lighter checks, from the industries' own figures, not the company's roles.
