Technology category · O*NET

Contact center software is a technology category in the O*NET database. Across U.S. occupations, 1 report using software or tools in this category. The named products below are the specific examples O*NET records for those jobs.

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.

How AI is used by roles that use Contact center software

A software category is not itself "being automated" — but we can look at the roles that report using Contact center 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. 100.0% of the 1 roles that use this category carry observed AI-usage data (1 roles).

Across those roles, 35.5% of AI conversations are people working with AI and 41.2% hand a task to AI , with an average autonomy of 3.00 / 5.

Collaboration pattern Share What it means
directive 37.9% AI does it; you give the instruction
task iteration 27.6% you and AI go back and forth
learning 7.9% you ask AI to explain or teach
feedback loop 3.3% AI does it, then adjusts from your feedback

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.

Customer Service Representatives 35.5% 3.0/5

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 Contact center 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 Contact center software matters most across the economy. Employment reach is the share of an industry's workers in occupations that significantly use Contact center 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 1.8% of workers are in occupations that significantly use Contact center software (measured across 63 industries).

Industries where it is most concentrated

Industry Level Concentration Employment reach
Direct Health and Medical Insurance Carriers National industry 8.44× 15.2%
Insurance Agencies and Brokerages National industry 7.06× 12.7%
Finance and Insurance Sector 4.33× 7.8%
Utilities Sector 2.56× 4.6%

Veterinary Services National industry 1.94× 3.5%
Retail Trade Sector 1.67× 3.0%
Wholesale Trade Sector 1.61× 2.9%

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.
