How AI is used by roles that use Mailing and shipping software

A software category is not itself "being automated" — but we can look at the roles that report using Mailing and shipping 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. 50.0% of the 2 roles that use this category carry observed AI-usage data (1 roles).

Across those roles, 42.2% of AI conversations are people working with AI and 47.4% hand a task to AI , with an average autonomy of 4.00 / 5.

Collaboration pattern Share What it means
directive 44.9% AI does it; you give the instruction
task iteration 35.0% you and AI go back and forth
learning 7.2% you ask AI to explain or teach
feedback loop 2.5% 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.

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 Mailing and shipping 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 Mailing and shipping software matters most across the economy. Employment reach is the share of an industry's workers in occupations that significantly use Mailing and shipping 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 0.6% of workers are in occupations that significantly use Mailing and shipping software (measured across 63 industries).

Industries where it is most concentrated

Industry Level Concentration Employment reach

Temporary Help Services National industry 1.5× 0.9%
Educational Services Sector 1.33× 0.8%
Real Estate and Rental and Leasing Sector 1.33× 0.8%

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.
