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: 15% now, 19% at the end of 2027, 20% at the end of 2028, 21% at the end of 2030. By the patterns, the work is about 21% desk work, 11% people work and 68% 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 76% of the working time stays with people (conversation, in-person and hands-on work), 17% 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.

The workforce as industry patterns
| Pattern | Share | Reason, from the filing |
|---|---|---|
| Other Wood Product Manufacturing | 60% | The Site Built (33% of revenue) and Industrial (27%) segments make trusses, wall panels, pallets and crates in plants, which NAICS counts with other wood products (321992, 321920), read by segment revenue (c) since the filing counts no employees by segment. |
| Sawmills and Wood Preservation | 40% | The Retail segment (40% of revenue) treats lumber and makes outdoor wood products for home centers, which NAICS counts with wood preservation (321114), read by segment revenue (c); its composite decking is read with it for lack of a count. |
What the filing says about the workforce: About 13,800, down from 15,800 in 2023 as the filing's history shows; the four-year degree requirement removed for sales and management roles; UFP Business School; no hourly, part-time or union figure stated.
