What you can expect to experience while on the job
Employment of financial clerks is projected to grow 5 percent from 2018 to 2028, about as fast as the average for all occupations. Detailed projected growth rates for these occupations are viewable in the table. The availability of online tools is expected to slow future employment growth and has reduced demand for many of these occupations, including credit authorizers, checkers and clerks, procurement clerks, and new accounts clerks. Similarly, productivity-enhancing technology is slowing demand for other clerks, such as payroll and timekeeping clerks. Billing and posting clerks, loan interviewers and clerks, and insurance claims and policy processing clerks do tasks that are less susceptible to automation, namely contacting and interviewing applicants and customers to gather information. Therefore, these clerks are expected to see employment growth in line with the healthcare, banking, and insurance industries, respectively.
