TVA states 10,427 individuals with earnings in 2025 at September 30, 2025, full-time, part-time and temporary, all in the U.S. and 59% represented by nine unions, generating and transmitting power across seven states, so one pattern takes the whole workforce at electric power by description (c), with the federal corporation flagged.
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: 21% now, 35% at the end of 2027, 41% at the end of 2028, 45% at the end of 2030. By the patterns, the work is about 45% desk work, 15% people work and 41% 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 53% of the working time stays with people (conversation, in-person and hands-on work), 38% 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.

Limits of this reading
- TVA is a federal corporation whose employees BLS counts as federal government; the reading uses the electric power pattern for the work it does.
- The universe's 10,635 is not in the excerpt; the stated count of individuals with earnings is 10,427 (rule 2), a year's population rather than a point-in-time count.

- 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.
