Work With or Contribute to a Work Group or Team

Work context · O*NET

Work With or Contribute to a Work Group or Team is a work-context dimension in the O*NET database — one of the standardized conditions O*NET uses to describe the environment a job is done in , grouped under Interpersonal Relationships. O*NET defines it by asking workers: "How important is it to work with or contribute to a work group or team in this job?." It is rated for 894 occupations, which average 4.18 out of 5 (high relative to other context dimensions).

How it's measured

O*NET rates each occupation on this dimension on a 1–5 context-importance scale (the CX scale), where higher means the condition is a more frequent or more central part of the work. The figures on this page are those occupation-level ratings — a description of working conditions as workers report them, not a judgment about pay, difficulty, or whether a job is "good."

Economy-wide average 4.18 / 5 Mean across all 894 rated occupations
Range across occupations 1.86–5.00 Lowest to highest occupation rating (spread 3.14)
Intensity vs. other dimensions 95th pct Where this dimension's average ranks among all O*NET work-context dimensions

How AI is used by roles where work with or contribute to a work group or team is central

A working condition is not itself "being automated" — but we can look at the occupations where it is most central and ask how those people actually use AI. This rolls the Anthropic Economic Index per-role signal up across the roles that rate this condition 3 or higher (CX-rating-weighted). 57.4% of the 875 occupations where this condition is present carry observed AI-usage data (502 roles).

Across those roles, 45.6% of AI conversations are people working with AI and 32.2% hand a task to AI , with an average autonomy of 3.56 / 5.

Collaboration pattern Share What it means
directive 29.8% AI does it; you give the instruction
task iteration 23.6% you and AI go back and forth
learning 19.3% you ask AI to explain or teach
validation 2.6% you do it; AI checks your work
feedback loop 2.5% AI does it, then adjusts from your feedback

Roles behind this signal

The occupations where this condition is most central and that also have the most AEI data. "Works with AI" is the role's share of conversations that augment rather than automate.

Occupation Condition (1–5) Works with AI Autonomy
English Language and Literature Teachers, Postsecondary 3.6 63.2% 4.0/5
Biological Science Teachers, Postsecondary 4.2 63.2% 4.0/5
Editors 4.6 68.2% 4.0/5
Educational, Guidance, School, and Vocational Counselors 4.8 70.6% 4.0/5

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. This is a role-weighted projection from AEI-linked occupations where this condition is central, not a direct measurement of AI use for the condition itself. Shares are weighted by how central the condition is to each role; some conversations are left unclassified by Anthropic's taxonomy, so shares need not sum to 100.
