Administration software

Technology category · O*NET

Administration software is a technology category in the O*NET database. Across U.S. occupations, 15 report using software or tools in this category. The named products below are the specific examples O*NET records for those jobs. The occupations that use it sit, on average, at the 85th percentile of AI task-exposure ( high) — how much that work overlaps with what AI can do, not a sign the tool is being replaced. See where every tool category sits.

A Hot tag marks technologies O*NET sees frequently in employer job postings; In demand marks tools an occupation specifically requires.

Example software & tools

Ranked by how many occupations list each product. Each number is an occupation count — a job is counted once per product — so the product rows overlap and do not sum to the category total.

Occupations that use Administration software

Exposure quadrant: AI task-overlap percentile vs Median pay AI task-overlap (horizontal) versus median pay (vertical), each as a percentile across all scored occupations, for 15 occupations in occupations that use Administration software. Overlap measures shared tasks with AI, not automation. Lower overlap · higher pay Higher overlap · higher pay Higher overlap · lower pay Lower overlap · lower pay Radio Frequency Identification Device Specialists Security Management Specialists Computer Network Support Specialists Computer User Support Specialists Network and Computer Systems Administrators Fire-Prevention and Protection Engineers Software Quality Assurance Analysts and Testers AI task-overlap percentile → ↑ Median pay

How AI is used by roles that use Administration software

A software category is not itself "being automated" — but we can look at the roles that report using Administration software and ask how those people actually use AI. This rolls the Anthropic Economic Index per-role signal up across those roles, weighted by how much observed AI activity each one has. 20.0% of the 15 roles that use this category carry observed AI-usage data (3 roles).

Across those roles, 51.1% of AI conversations are people working with AI and 33.3% hand a task to AI , with an average autonomy of 4.00 / 5.

Collaboration pattern Share What it means
directive 29.9% AI does it; you give the instruction
task iteration 26.9% you and AI go back and forth
learning 22.9% you ask AI to explain or teach
feedback loop 3.4% AI does it, then adjusts from your feedback
validation 1.4% you do it; AI checks your work

Roles behind this signal

The roles using this category that have the most AEI data. "Works with AI" is the role's share of conversations that augment rather than automate.

Occupation Works with AI Autonomy
Sales Engineers 54.1% 4.0/5
Radio Frequency Identification Device Specialists 18.5% 4.0/5
Fire-Prevention and Protection Engineers

Source: Anthropic Economic Index (2026-01-15-v4-plus-2025-03-27-v2) over a sample of Claude.ai Free and Pro conversations — not all AI tools and not the whole workforce. Roles list software categories in O*NET; this does not mean AI is used inside Administration software, only that people in those roles use AI. Some conversations are left unclassified, so shares need not sum to 100.

Industries that concentrate this

Where Administration software matters most across the economy. Employment reach is the share of an industry's workers in occupations that significantly use Administration software (O*NET importance ≥ 3 of 5, or report using the tool category). Concentration compares that reach to the national average industry, so a value above 1× means the requirement is more pervasive here than across the economy as a whole.

Nationally, about 3.4% of workers are in occupations that significantly use Administration software (measured across 65 industries).

Sectors with the most such workers

Sector Workers Employment reach
Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services 1,662,530 15.4%
Information 650,320 22.4%
Finance and Insurance 457,220 7.3%
Manufacturing 377,120 3.0%
Management of Companies and Enterprises 362,760 12.9%
Educational Services 297,700 2.2%
Administrative and Support and Waste Management and Remediation Services 273,810 3.0%
Wholesale Trade 226,760 3.8%
Health Care and Social Assistance 195,430 0.8%
Other Services (except Public Administration) 77,620 1.8%
Transportation and Warehousing 63,440 0.9%
Retail Trade 55,990 0.4%

Industries where it is most concentrated

Industry Level Concentration Employment reach
Information Sector 6.59× 22.4%
Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services Sector 4.53× 15.4%
Management of Companies and Enterprises Sector 3.79× 12.9%
Direct Health and Medical Insurance Carriers National industry 3.47× 11.8%
Engineering Services National industry 2.62× 8.9%
Finance and Insurance Sector 2.15× 7.3%
Testing Laboratories and Services National industry 1.41× 4.8%
Temporary Help Services National industry 1.35× 4.6%
Utilities Sector 1.26× 4.3%
Wholesale Trade Sector 1.12× 3.8%
Insurance Agencies and Brokerages National industry 1.06× 3.6%
Manufacturing Sector 0.88× 3.0%

Reach is a measure of how widespread a requirement is across an industry's workforce, not how intensively any individual uses it. Sector worker counts come from BLS OEWS employment; the significance threshold and tool use come from O*NET. Industries shown by concentration are filtered to a real worker base so a tiny specialty cannot top the list on rounding.
