Furthermore, the highest-rated work activities are Working with Computers (4.57) and Analyzing Data or Information (4.57). Combined with a work context defined by E-Mail (5.00), Telephone Conversations (4.80), and Spend Time Sitting (4.59), the signals strongly indicate pure digital information work.
