Baggage Porters, Bellhops, and Concierges

Baggage Porters, Bellhops, and Concierges is one of the 98 SOC minor groups — the middle tier of the U.S. Standard Occupational Classification, sitting between the broad job families and individual occupations. It belongs to the Personal Care and Service Occupations family and contains 2 detailed occupations employing about 75,420 people, with a median wage of $36,670 across them. BLS projects employment in this group to change +0.7% between 2024 and 2034 , with roughly 11,400 openings a year.

Occupations in this group

Ranked by U.S. employment (BLS OEWS May 2024). Projected change is BLS 2024–34; AI exposure is the OpenAI "GPTs are GPTs" human beta rating (share of an occupation's tasks where an LLM with tools could cut the time to do them by at least half).

AI exposure across this group

Two published studies estimate how exposed each occupation is to AI. The OpenAI "GPTs are GPTs" study rates the share of an occupation's tasks an LLM (with tools) could speed up by half or more; averaged across this group it is 49% — 85th percentile of the 98 groups. The independent Felten/Raj/Seamans AI Occupational Exposure index averages -0.21 here.

Exposure measures where AI could assist tasks — it is not a prediction that these jobs will be automated. High exposure often means augmentation (faster work), and many high-exposure occupations are also projected to grow.
