Source: Anthropic Economic Index, “What work can robots do?” (2026), CC BY 4.0, with O*NET task data (USDOL/ETA, CC BY 4.0); weighted by BLS employment. A task counts when a cited robot can do it at least in a purpose-built setting; that is technical feasibility, not adoption or cost.
Where today’s robots could already take on the work. Driving, warehouse, farm, factory and kitchen jobs are mostly made of tasks some robot can do; office, legal, management and care work is not, because it is not physical or because robots still cannot handle it.
