A software company whose filing states 7,642 full-time employees and nothing by kind of work, so the whole workforce is read at software publishers.
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: 25% now, 55% at the end of 2027, 69% at the end of 2028, 75% at the end of 2030. By the patterns, the work is about 75% desk work, 23% people work and 2% body work.
