A building materials maker whose filing states its total and the count abroad, with three segments known by revenue and plant descriptions, so the patterns follow the products with the labor-heavy ones raised.
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: 18% now, 26% at the end of 2027, 29% at the end of 2028, 30% at the end of 2030. By the patterns, the work is about 30% desk work, 12% people work and 58% 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 69% of the working time stays with people (conversation, in-person and hands-on work), 24% 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.
Headcount
25,000 employees as of December 31, 2025 (stated). About 11,000 of 25,000 employees located outside the United States, as the filing states, so about 56% in the U.S.
The filing: “We are global in scope, human in scale with approximately 25,000 total employees in 31 countries dedicated to generating value for our customers and shareholders and making a difference in the communities where we work and live.”
The workforce as industry patterns
| Pattern | Share | Reason, from the filing |
|---|---|---|
| Nonmetallic Mineral Product Manufacturing | 40% | By revenue (c), adjusted by description: Insulation (37% of revenue) makes glass fiber and mineral wool insulation in plants the filing describes as its manufacturing base, read at nonmetallic mineral products and raised a little because insulation plants employ more people per dollar than roofing plants. |
| Petroleum and Coal Products Manufacturing | 35% | By revenue (c), adjusted by description: Roofing (44% of revenue) makes asphalt shingles and roofing components, which NAICS counts with petroleum and coal products, lowered because the filing describes roofing as the smaller workforce for its revenue. |
| Other Wood Product Manufacturing | 25% | By revenue (c), adjusted by description: Doors (21% of revenue), the Masonite business acquired in 2024, makes interior and exterior doors in door plants, read at wood products and raised because door assembly is labor-heavy; the filing counts no plant workforce. |
What the filing says about the workforce: About 25,000 employees in 31 countries as of December 31, 2025, about 11,000 outside the United States; about 61% of hourly employees under collective bargaining agreements; headcount rose from 18,000 in 2023 with the Masonite acquisition.

What the filing says about AI
7 sentences in the filing name AI. The filing names AI 7 times, as a technology it increasingly develops, integrates and uses for productivity and analytics, with the legal and reputational risks that brings.
- “Emerging issues related to our development, integration and use of artificial intelligence ("AI") could give rise to legal or regulatory action, damage our reputation or otherwise materially harm our business .”
- “We increasingly develop, integrate and use AI technology in our operations, including to drive productivity and data analytics.”
- “While we aim to develop, integrate and use AI responsibly, including attempting to identify and mitigate ethical or legal issues presented by its use, we may ultimately be unsuccessful in identifying or resolving issues, such as accuracy issues, cybersecurity risks, unintended biases, and discriminatory outputs, before they arise.”
- “AI is a relatively new and emerging technology in early stages of commercial use and presents a number of risks inherent in its use by us, our customers, suppliers and other business partners and third-party providers, or through the use of third-party hardware and software.”
- “As a result, we cannot predict future developments in AI and related impacts to our business and our industry.”

Questions about this company
- How much of Owens Corning's working time is within reach of AI?
- An estimated 18% now and 29% by the end of 2028, on METR's long-run pace at four in five, from the workforce Owens Corning'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 Owens Corning employ?
- 25,000 as of December 31, 2025, as its annual report for the period ending December 31, 2025 states. About 56% in the U.S.
- What kinds of work make up Owens Corning's workforce?
- Read from its annual report as a blend of 3 industry staffing patterns, the largest Nonmetallic Mineral Product Manufacturing; by those patterns the work is about 30% desk work, 12% people work and 58% body work. Each share has a one-sentence reason on this page that can be checked against the filing.
- What does Owens Corning's annual report say about AI?
- 7 sentences in the filing name AI. Its annual reports for fiscal 2021 to 2025 name it in 0, 0, 8, 8 and 7 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.
