The Workforce AI Index · Consumer Defensive
Procter & Gamble (PG)
A consumer goods maker by description. Read October 1, 2026 from the annual report for the period ending 2026-06-30, filed 2026-08-04. Ranked 10 of the 16 Consumer Defensive companies read so far, by the share within reach now: the sector.
The filing states the total, the manufacturing and U.S. shares and the year's decline, but nothing by category, so the two manufacturing patterns follow the description of its categories.
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: 17% now, 29% at the end of 2027, 34% at the end of 2028, 36% at the end of 2030. By the patterns, the work is about 36% desk work, 12% people work and 52% 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 63% of the working time stays with people (conversation, in-person and hands-on work), 30% 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
104,000 employees as of 2026-06-30 (stated). 28% of employees are located in the United States; the count excludes interns, co-ops, contractors and joint venture employees.
The filing: “As of June 30, 2026, the Company had approximately 104,000 employees, a decrease of 4% versus the prior year due to the ongoing restructuring program.”
The workforce as industry patterns
| Pattern | Share | Reason, from the filing |
|---|---|---|
| Chemical Manufacturing | 75% | By (c): the filing states that 49% of employees are in manufacturing roles but gives no split by product category, and most of its categories (beauty, grooming, health care, fabric and home care) are soaps, cleaning compounds and toiletries, so the larger share is read into the chemical manufacturing pattern (the data carries the subsector, not the soap and toiletries group) by description, with the non-manufacturing staff inside it as BLS counts a maker's staff. |
| Converted Paper Product Manufacturing | 25% | By (c): the baby, feminine and family care categories (diapers, tissue and towels) are converted paper products, described without a headcount, so a share is read into that pattern by description. |
What the filing says about the workforce: About 104,000 employees, down 4% in the year under the restructuring program the filing describes; 49% in manufacturing roles; 28% in the United States; 42% women.
What the filing says about AI
11 sentences in the filing name AI. AI appears in the technology and security risk discussion (reliance on information and operational technology systems; the use of AI by attackers to find and exploit vulnerabilities); the human capital section does not mention it.
