Examples of the occupations classified here: - Club host - Club hostess - Dancing partner - Social escort Some related occupations classified elsewhere: - Companion - 5162 Note Countries that have a requirement to compile statistics on those who provide sexual services to clients on a commercial basis should include them in Unit Group 5169: Personal Services Workers Not Elsewhere Classified.

Kind of hands-on work · hands-on under 50 Less than half hands-on

Less than half of this job is hands-on. Robots still matter, but for a smaller part of the work, so we don't sort it any further.

What this number leaves out This job rates 44.8 out of 100 for how hands-on it is. The score above only looks at AI tools, not robots, but for work this far from the physical that matters less.

The tasks behind the score

The score is the average of these. A job is really a bundle of tasks, and an average can hide how uneven that bundle is.

The task AI could do most of scores 26.5, while the average is 21.3. A big gap means some of this job is wide open to AI and some of it barely at all. That's quite different from a job where everything sits somewhere in the middle, even when the averages match.
