SOC 43-9061
General office clerks (43-9061.00) handle varied general clerical work, including telephones, equipment operation, word processing, and filing; the mix follows organizational procedures. Receiving and paying money, basic bookkeeping, and documents are supplemental tasks; check the specific role and authority to determine whether they apply.
Model impact index for three equally weighted representative core tasks; not a measured share of working time or a job-loss probability. floor((50+75+75)/3+0.5)=67; fermatmind-ai-impact-v1; 2026-10-18.
Judging the responsibility | Real fit depends on doing three things within one administrative task: complete the work properly, using office systems and procedures for receipt, registration, classification, entry, filing, replies, and referral while ensuring accurate information, amounts, periods, and parties; maintain compliance and verifiability, handling payments, contracts, and documents under authority, limits, and approvals, processing personal information and business data by minimum necessity, and documenting all steps for review; and accept defined role responsibilities, being accountable for your entry, filing, replies, and referral and reporting or handing over matters beyond authority or procedures. Test this through a verifiable exercise, such as a transaction ledger and handover note for fictional materials, a payment and document-checking procedure, an archive and retention-period list, or a review of a data-leak or unauthorized-request response drill, rather than relying only on an interest questionnaire.
Caution signals | Repeated checks, multitasking, and frequent communication require patience. Roles involving funds, personal information, or contracts also require checks of rules and authority. The U.S. projection of −6% describes national job totals only, not individual employment or outsourcing and GenAI effects. Use G1 to check whether urgency still leads you to skip checks and documentation.
General office clerks handle varied general clerical work, requiring familiarity with office systems and procedures. Tasks may involve telephones, word processing, equipment, and filing; the organization defines the mix. Money handling and basic bookkeeping are supplemental, not universal duties.
Work categories | Telephones and communication, equipment and word processing, records and retrieval, data checking, scheduling, and supplies support. Money handling, basic bookkeeping, and documents are O*NET supplemental tasks, not duties of every role. The editorial process is receipt and registration—classification and checking—processing within authority—records and handover. Check specific duties and authority against organizational rules first.
Career direction comparison
Introduction | The comparison has four columns: career direction, core work and outputs, key differences, and which choices it better suits. General clerical work, administrative assistance, reception, bookkeeping support, data entry, and archive management often connect within one organization, but connection does not mean interchangeability. Changing direction requires learning role authority, professional definitions, compliance, and responsibility boundaries.

|---|---|---|---|
| This occupation: General Office Clerks (43-9061.00) | Tasks and outputs | Telephones, equipment, word processing, and records are general tasks; ledgers, replies, and filing are reviewable. Money handling, basic bookkeeping, and documents are supplemental tasks determined by role and authority. | Comparison note | Occupations differ by primary tasks and outputs, with possible overlap. General clerks handle varied tasks; other directions focus more on reception, bookkeeping, entry, secretarial support, or enterprise document systems. Classification does not determine authority levels or exclude specific role responsibilities. |
AI's impact on careers
Insufficient evidence: this page has not established a precise GenAI exposure score, actual adoption rate, or efficiency gain for 43-9061. AI judgment | Based on word processing, records, forms, and proofreading tasks, the editorial suggestion is to test drafts, retrieval, and initial discrepancy screening and check outputs against original materials. BLS projects −6% employment during 2025—2035 and 249,000 annual replacement openings; its automation context is not an independent causal GenAI effect. Judge technical feasibility, organizational adoption, and job outcomes separately; software mentions in recruitment are not adoption rates. AI Impact Score 67% is an editorial estimate.

Mainland China pay reference
Classification crosswalk note | U.S. SOC 43-9061.00 is General Office Clerks within office and administrative-support occupations. Task breadth and authority levels differ from administrative assistants and executive secretaries (43-6011 / 43-6014 and related codes), receptionists and information clerks (43-4171), bookkeeping, accounting, and auditing clerks (43-3031), data entry keyers (43-9021), document-management specialists, and first-line office-support supervisors (43-1011). International classifications such as ISCO-08 indicate only the broad position of office clerical roles and cannot replace U.S. SOC or mainland China's occupational classification and statistical definitions. Role boundaries defined by mainland China's organizational, accounting, information-protection, and archive rules do not precisely correspond one to one with this U.S. occupation. Definitions and legal settings differ, so no numerical conversion is made.
43-9061 General Office Clerks handle varied general clerical tasks, including telephones, equipment and word processing, records, retrieval, proofreading, and scheduling support. Money handling, basic bookkeeping, and documents are supplemental tasks, subject to the specific role. Outputs are verifiable transaction ledgers and records.

Career-fit guide
Editorial observation suggestion | G1 checks this task's receipt records, amount and period checks, and authority judgments. Actual tasks require organizational arrangements and assessment. No evidence establishes this as more reliable than assessments or other methods; one task cannot establish long-term fit.
You may be better suited： Fit signals: willing to handle varied tasks under procedures and rules, remain careful with amounts, periods, and identifiers, stay stable and polite amid multitasking and frequent communication, record truthfully, and report and refer matters beyond authority or limits.
These situations call for caution： Caution signals: difficulty with sustained repetitive, detail-heavy tasks, maintaining checks and authority boundaries under complaints, urgency, and multitasking, or pausing, reporting, and referring matters beyond authority or limits.
Try an entry exercise： Verification suggestion | First complete the pathway section's full G1 three paper tables, self-check against answers, and optionally ask a peer to recalculate. No real materials or prior professional review are needed. Then check target organizational permissions and systems.
Work pressure, risks, and professional boundaries

Exploration checklist | This occupation, 43-9061.00, handles varied general clerical duties. O*NET core tasks include equipment, telephones, communication, filing, retrieving information, mail, and proofreading. Money handling, accounting, and documents are supplemental tasks. Among respondents, 15% work more than 40 hours weekly, 59% work 40 hours, and 26% fewer than 40 hours. Questionnaires are not proof of hiring suitability or competence; first check target work objects, systems, and authority.
Experience suggestion | Use the complete six fictional G1 materials in the pathway section. In 60 minutes, create a four-item transaction ledger, B01 amount and approval check, and three-area filing handover. Recalculate 100 yuan, 8.70%, 18 / 50 minutes, and the 30-minute meeting. Compare with reference answers. Make no payments, external disclosures, actual messages, or file deletions; no external template or expert is needed.
Task and record guidance | Begin with receipt and registration. Under office procedures, check the source, matter, amount, period, and deadline of documents, calls, mail, and vouchers, classify and prioritize, confirm authority, limits, and approval requirements, then process, enter, file, reply, or refer. Payments, contracts, document signatures, seals, and external commitments require authority. Limit purposes and permissions for personal information, business data, and customer materials. Important judgments, communications, documentation, and handovers must be reviewable by superiors and checking roles in ledgers and systems.
Authority checks | Check payment, reimbursement, contract, seal, and information-access authority against the target role. Do not sign in another person's name or approve beyond authority. Review original vouchers, amounts, periods, and identifiers under rules; whether two-person review applies depends on the specific system. Check business-data and personal-information scopes separately; not all business data are sensitive personal information.
Adjacent boundaries | This occupation handles varied general clerical work. 43-6011 covers executive secretaries and executive administrative assistants; 43-6014 covers secretaries and administrative assistants other than legal, medical, and executive roles, so both cannot be called executive support. Document management specialists 15-1299.03 emphasize enterprise electronic-document systems and management procedures; 43-9071 covers office machine operators. Reception 43-4171, bookkeeping 43-3031, entry 43-9021, and supervision 43-1011 are classified by primary tasks, which may overlap. Classification grants no contract or payment authority.
| Dimension | Main direction | Comparison direction |
|---|---|---|
| Core purpose | This occupation's core purpose | Handle daily office tasks within authority, processes, and rules through receipt, registration, classification, processing, entry, filing, replies, and referral: calls and routing, equipment and software, records and information management, documents and bookkeeping, data checking and entry, and coordination and support. Make accuracy and traceability reviewable and meet compliance and information-protection requirements. | Core principles of adjacent roles | Most roles in the same group and adjacent roles aim to process tasks accurately under procedures and rules and leave reliable, retrievable information and service records. They differ in task breadth, authority level, and contacts: general clerical task combinations, support for specific managers, reception and information guidance, bookkeeping records, bulk data entry, archive lifecycles, or team and process management. |
| Main objects and basis | Main objects and basis of this occupation | Address daily office tasks, including calls, visitors, mail, incoming documents, vouchers, forms, files, supplies, and schedules, and office systems such as office software, spreadsheets, accounting, databases, filing, and scanning. The basis is office procedures, authority and limit rules, finance, voucher and money-handling requirements, personal-information, data-security and archive-management requirements, and customer-service and confidentiality requirements. | Main objects and basis of adjacent roles | Administrative assistants and executive secretaries follow specific managers' scheduling, correspondence, meeting, travel, and confidentiality requirements; receptionists and information clerks follow visitor reception, guidance, and telephone standards; bookkeeping, accounting, and auditing clerks follow accounting, voucher, reconciliation, and report-support requirements; data entry keyers follow bulk-entry, validation, and accuracy requirements; document-management specialists follow classification, retention, compliance, and retrieval requirements; first-line office-support supervisors follow scheduling, process, quality, personnel, and budget-management requirements. |
| Core process | Core process of this occupation | Receive and register, checking sources, matters, and deadlines; classify and prioritize, confirming authority and limits; process, enter, and proofread amounts and periods; file, reply, refer, and document within scope; review, hand over, and update ledgers; and pause and report anomalies, exceeded authority, or suspected risks. Document each step under office, finance, and archive rules for superior and checking-role inspection. | Core processes of adjacent roles | Administrative assistants and executive secretaries focus on managers' schedules, correspondence, meetings, travel, and information filtering; receptionists and information clerks on reception, visitor guidance, and call routing; bookkeeping, accounting, and auditing clerks on voucher entry, reconciliation, aging, and report preparation; data entry keyers on bulk entry and format validation; document-management specialists on classification, cataloging, borrowing, destruction, and compliant retention; office-support supervisors on scheduling, processes, quality metrics, personnel, and outsourcing. |
| Main outputs | Main outputs of this occupation | Verifiable transaction ledgers and handover notes with receipt times, sources, matters, processing steps, handlers, and reviewers; call, visitor, mail, and incoming-document registration, replies, and referral records; document, money-handling, basic-bookkeeping, limit, and approval checks; data-entry and proofreading records; filing, retrieval, borrowing, and retention-period records; and office-supply, schedule, and meeting records. | Main outputs of adjacent roles | Administrative assistants and executive secretaries produce manager schedules, correspondence, minutes, travel, and information-submission records; receptionists and information clerks produce reception, visitor, call, routing, and guidance records; bookkeeping, accounting, and auditing clerks produce vouchers, books, reconciliations, and report-support records; data entry keyers produce structured-entry and validation records; document-management specialists produce archive catalogs, borrowing, destruction, and retention records; office-support supervisors produce scheduling, process, quality, and personnel-management records. |
| Responsible parties | Responsibility in this occupation | Be accountable for personally handled receipt, classification, entry, proofreading, filing, replies, referral, and ledgers and for procedural authorized checking and review. Appropriately authorized roles or organizations decide under rules on payments, contracts, seals, external commitments, accounting, tax and audit judgments, external personal-information and business-data provision, archive destruction, major fund errors, and information leaks. This occupation does not replace their decisions. | Responsibility in adjacent roles | Responsibilities in the same group and adjacent roles are usually defined by the organization, role authority, and procedures and generally concern organizations, customers, coworkers, business data, and fund security. |
| Authority and approval | Authority and approval in this occupation | Receipt, registration, entry, proofreading, filing, replies, and referral must remain within role authority, processes, and limits. Payments, reimbursements, contracts, seals, external commitments, external or cross-border personal-information and business-data provision, archive destruction, and fund or voucher handling beyond limits or designated persons require approval or referral under rules. Do not sign for others or process beyond authority. | Authority and approval in adjacent roles | Authority comes from role delegation, processes, and rules and generally excludes independent payment, contract, external-commitment, or accounting decisions beyond personal authority. Refer fund, contract, personal-information, and archive-disposal matters to appropriately authorized roles or organizations. |
| Limits on conclusions | Limits on conclusions in this occupation | State only verifiable receipt, processing, entry, and filing facts, distinguishing closed matters, missing materials, and authorized-processing needs. Do not make unauthorized judgments or commitments beyond authority or processes, such as payment approval, contract-signature validity, accounting assurance, or legal opinions. Pause and escalate or refer mismatched amounts or periods, missing approvals or limits, suspected fabricated vouchers, personal-information leakage risks, and unauthorized requests. Descriptions must withstand superior, review, internal-control, audit, and regulatory inspection. | Limits on conclusions in adjacent roles | Conclusions generally remain at role, process, and organizational level and usually do not establish financial authenticity, contract validity, legal opinions, or accounting assurance. Cross-department conclusions and those involving funds, contracts, or assurance have scope limits. |
Answer and route calls, take messages, and communicate with customers, employees, and others to answer questions, convey or explain information, receive orders, handle complaints, and communicate outside the organization.
Operate copiers, scanners, fax machines, voicemail systems, and personal computers and use office, spreadsheet, and accounting software for entry, formatting, statistics, and queries.
Maintain and update filing, inventory, mailing, and database systems; compile, copy, sort, and file office-activity and business-transaction records; and retrieve files and records to respond to requests.
Supplemental tasks, subject to the specific role: collect, count, and pay money, perform basic bookkeeping and banking transactions, complete and mail bills, contracts, policies, invoices, or checks, and process business or government forms and expense claims.
Calculate, record, and proofread data and other information such as records or reports, ensuring accurate amounts, periods, parties, and identifiers, with system records and procedural review.
Arrange meetings, schedules, travel, and office supplies and work with superiors and colleagues on cross-department tasks, handover, filing, and ad hoc requests.
Checks before joining | Use the following six items one by one before applying or joining to avoid inferring duties and authority from titles or promotional wording. Base findings on written recruitment information, employment contracts, job descriptions, authorization, and rule documents and continue confirming after joining. This page lists checking directions only, not any organization's formal requirements. Special note: this occupation often involves money handling, personal information, contracts, and archives. Confirm authority, limits, review, seals, information access, and confidentiality requirements.
Checking guidance | Similar titles can have very different duties and authority. Some emphasize reception, telephones, and front-desk service; others entry and documents, bookkeeping and voucher support, archives and records, or general task support. Money-handling powers, seals and contract processes, information access and confidentiality, duty coverage, and overtime arrangements vary by organization.
| Exploration suggestion | If willing to switch among varied tasks, calls, mail, and vouchers while maintaining accuracy and documentation, try G1. Accuracy does not guarantee a stable or predictable pace. |
| Administrative Assistants and Executive Secretaries (Secretaries and Administrative Assistants / Executive Secretaries, 43-6011 / 43-6014 and related codes) | Core work and outputs: arrange and maintain managers' schedules, meetings, and travel; draft and organize correspondence, reports, and minutes; filter and forward information and incoming items; and coordinate internal and external communication and reception. Outputs are manager schedules, correspondence, minutes, travel, and information-submission records. | Difference | Executive secretaries and executive administrative assistants 43-6011 emphasize senior-executive support. 43-6014 covers secretaries and administrative assistants other than legal, medical, and executive roles, supporting everyday office business rather than all serving executives. General clerks are classified by a varied general-task mix; duties may overlap. Organizational delegation determines authority. | Exploration suggestion | Compare secretarial directions if you prefer schedules, meetings, and correspondence. First check actual support recipients, confidentiality, and authority; titles cannot establish contact levels. |
|---|
| Receptionists and Information Clerks (43-4171) | Core work and outputs: receive, verify, register, and guide visitors; answer and route calls and provide or retrieve information; receive and refer requests, appointments, parcels, and letters; and maintain reception, visitor, and call records. Outputs are reception, visitor, call, routing, and information-guidance records. | Key difference: receptionists and information clerks focus on front-door and front-desk reception, visitor guidance, call routing, and information, emphasizing first contact with external visitors and calls. This occupation is broader, covering records, documents, data, and filing, with reception only one part. | Better suited to people who want first contact with visitors and callers and emphasize service presentation and immediate response; this occupation emphasizes back-office tasks and records. |
|---|
| Bookkeeping, Accounting, and Auditing Clerks (43-3031) | Core work and outputs: enter and review original vouchers and post books; reconcile banks, counterparties, and expenses and handle discrepancies; organize aging, receivables, payables, and report-support data; and supply vouchers and explanations for month-end close and audits. Outputs are vouchers, books, reconciliations, and report-support records. | Difference | 43-3031 focuses more on financial records, vouchers, and reconciliation. General clerks may perform supplemental basic bookkeeping depending on the role. Classification grants no audit-assurance or payment-approval authority and cannot prove they never support reports. | Better suited to people who want voucher, reconciliation, and report-support work under accounting and finance definitions and accept stricter amount and period accuracy; this occupation emphasizes general tasks and documents. |
|---|
| Data Entry Keyers (43-9021) | Core work and outputs: enter paper or source data into systems under rules and templates, validate formats, ranges, and required fields, handle returns and corrections, and track progress and accuracy. Outputs are structured-entry, validation, and progress records. | Key difference: data entry keyers focus on high-volume structured entry, format validation, and accuracy, with highly focused repetitive tasks. This occupation's tasks are more dispersed and include communication, documents, filing, and coordination, with less repetition within one task. | Better suited to people who can sustain intensive repetitive entry with high accuracy; this occupation emphasizes varied task combinations and communication. |
|---|
| Document Management Specialists (15-1299.03) | Outputs | Enterprise electronic-document systems, classification schemes, access and retrieval processes, and document-management standards, with IT collaboration on implementation. Check whether paper archives and destruction approval are included in the specific role. | Difference | Document management specialists 15-1299.03 manage enterprise electronic-document systems and procedures, including classification, retrieval, access and sharing controls, retention, and disposal. General clerks may perform everyday filing, with overlapping duties. 43-9071 covers office machine operators, not document management specialists. | Better suited to people who want to manage record lifecycles, retrieval, and retention under archive and compliance definitions; this occupation emphasizes daily tasks and immediate filing. |
|---|
Comparison conclusion | 43-9061 covers varied general tasks. Check secretarial 43-6011 / 43-6014 executive and everyday support separately; document management 15-1299.03 emphasizes enterprise electronic-document systems. Distinguish reception, bookkeeping, data entry, and supervision by primary tasks. Tasks may overlap; actual rules determine authority, not occupational codes.
Transition | This page presents adjacent roles by task breadth and authority level to help choose a long-term task-support direction. In every direction, job readiness depends on organizational authority and procedures, permissions for funds, information, and archives, clear task, voucher, and ledger records, and willingness to accept responsibility for accuracy and others' rights. Interest questionnaires only raise questions.
Editorial ratings use the existing occupational responsibilities and AI task analysis on this page. They are not adoption rates, measured effects, job-disappearance or personal-unemployment probabilities, or official scores from Stanford or another external institution. No measured time weights or future robot deployment are assumed.
Technical feasibility: a tool may technically affect a task. This is only a feasibility judgment, not permission for use or evidence of organizational adoption.
Organizational adoption: introduction depends on compliance, internal controls, information security, archives, costs, and service levels. Tools cannot transfer authority or responsibility for funds, contracts, information, or archives.
Job outcomes | BLS projects a total decline of −6% during 2025—2035, with all 249,000 annual openings due to replacement. This does not establish GenAI adoption, independent effects, or rising skill thresholds.

ILO potential exposure and NIST governance cannot establish this occupation's adoption rate or effects. Automation scenarios are editorial suggestions requiring experimental checks.
Editorial scenario | Tool assistance below is an experiment direction, with no verified efficiency or replacement proportion. Check drafts, classification, retrieval, and initial discrepancy screening against originals. Funds, contracts, and personal information require lawful bases and specific authority; AI creates no powers. Judge feasibility, adoption, and job outcomes separately.
What AI mainly changesEditorial experiment: drafts and meeting and message summaries; effects await measurement
Still people's responsibilityCheck reception replies and schedules against actual processes and escalate abnormal complaints; drafts make no commitments.
What AI mainly changesEditorial experiment: classification, format checks, and indexed retrieval; effects await measurement
Still people's responsibilityCheck record classification, retrieval, and versions against originals; separately check personal-information lawful bases and access permissions.
What AI mainly changesEditorial experiment: ledger summaries and answer drafts; check originals
Still people's responsibilityCheck amounts, periods, vouchers, authority, and limits. Only specific roles handle money and bookkeeping, with review under rules.
Responsibility steps | These editorial checking suggestions follow specific materials, tool permissions, original-material review, process documentation, and role responsibility. No tool efficiency is promised.
Authority and limits: authorized people must handle funds, reimbursement, contracts, seals, and external commitments within limits and approvals; tools create no authority.
Vouchers and checking: compare amounts, periods, parties, and identifiers against original vouchers and use two-person review under rules. Tool outputs must not directly justify payment or accounting entries.
Information and permissions | Check lawful bases, necessary scope, retention, and authority for identifiable personal information. Other business materials follow confidentiality rules; do not share without authority or equate all business data with personal information.
Exceptions and reporting: pause, report, and refer mismatched amounts or periods, suspected fabricated vouchers, complaints, conflicts of interest, and information-security incidents under organizational rules.
Records | Record truthfully. Make authorized supplementary entries and traceable corrections in ordinary transaction ledgers without fabrication, backdating, or impersonated signatures. Accounting vouchers, books, and archives follow their respective applicable rules.
May cause fund losses, accounting errors, and reputational damage to the organization
Control method:Authorized people must check original vouchers and approvals and document them before payment, posting, or external replies
May let fabricated or incorrect vouchers and over-limit spending pass
Control method:Authorized roles must complete voucher checks, limit approvals, and two-person review under rules
May violate personal-information and data-security requirements and harm stakeholders' rights
Control method:Check lawful bases, necessary scope, permissions, and sensitive-information conditions for identifiable personal information. External tool processing must meet applicable rules and organizational authority; a sensitive label does not mean every external service is unlawful.
Distorted records affect traceability, internal controls, audits, and complaint handling
Control method:Records must reflect actual processing; do not generate unverified content
Responsibilities cannot be defined when fund errors, complaints, or compliance problems occur
Control method:Before adopting tools, identify and document receipt, processing, checking, authorization, and reply responsibilities and processes
Editorial experiment suggestion | First compare synthetic materials with outputs and record errors and review costs.

Mainland China section | Mainland China has office and administrative-support roles similar to general office clerks. Duties and compliance boundaries follow employer rules and relevant laws. Accounting, vouchers, and money handling follow accounting, negotiable-instrument, payment and settlement rules and organizational finance and approval systems. Contracts, seals, and external commitments follow organizational authority and seal rules. Personal-information, customer, and employee processing follows personal-information and data-security requirements. Archives follow filing, borrowing, and retention rules. However, sources consulted on this page provide no national occupational wage distribution precisely matching U.S. O*NET / SOC 43-9061.00. National Bureau of Statistics urban-entity wage tables use industry definitions, with separate broad job-category averages for enterprises above designated size; neither is this precise occupational distribution or lists it separately. Under the evidence policy, this page registers definitions and visible gaps with Insufficient evidence markers. It displays gaps without proxy figures and does not use industry averages, recruitment offers, U.S. wages, or overseas data to infer starting pay, medians, or individual income, nor treat this U.S. occupation's wages as equivalent mainland China earnings.
| Educational background | Common role directions | Notes and checking suggestions |
|---|---|---|
| Education and training: check the actual jurisdiction and role | U.S. statistical reference, not most Chinese roles | BLS's education and training crosswalk lists typical high-school or equivalent education, no related experience, and short-term on-the-job training for SOC 43-9061. U.S. O*NET places it in Job Zone 1—2, little to some preparation, with SVP below 6.0. O*NET's education survey shows 41% requiring high-school or equivalent education, 36% an associate or other two-year degree, and 15% some college. This does not replace employer and competent-authority credential and training requirements. |
| Office, accounting, and business-system skills | Target-role skill-checking suggestions | Editorial checking suggestion | Ask about target software, entry accuracy, speed, and duties. Mentions of 20 software items in advertisements are not a survey of skill requirements in most Chinese roles. |
| Related industry experience, such as healthcare, education, government, or finance support | Some roles | Editorial exploration example | Examine terminology, systems, and processes in clerical roles in healthcare, education, government, or construction organizations. No statistical preference in recruitment was verified; specific experience follows actual notices. |
| On-the-job training and skill updates, where applicable | Target-role training-checking suggestions | Typical U.S. BLS short-term on-the-job training is not a uniform Chinese requirement. Check training and authority for funds, information, and archives against target organizations and applicable rules. |
Insufficient evidence: this page has not obtained a precise Chinese occupational wage distribution. Chinese statistics | NBS2025 industry wages and broad job-category averages in enterprises above designated size were checked; neither is the precise general-office-clerk distribution.

| Industry | This occupation's May 2025 median hourly wage (dollars / hour) | How to interpret |
|---|---|---|
| Educational Services | $19.17 / hour (May 2025) | Education accounts for 14% of this occupation's 2025 employment. This is its within-industry hourly median, not the average for everyone in the industry. |

| Construction | $22.66 / hour (May 2025) | Construction accounts for 10% in 2025; occupational industry hourly median. |
| Government, excluding state and local education and hospitals | $23.27 / hour (May 2025) | Government accounts for 10% in 2025, excluding state and local education and hospitals. The remaining 55% outside the first four industries is only an arithmetic remainder, with no separate combined wage. |
Checking suggestion | Compare contracts and duties for the same occupation in target industries. The four industry hourly medians below have official support but cannot establish particular employers' wages or causes.
Checking suggestion | Keep current national and CA occupational percentiles separate; CA's annual median is 48,460 and hourly 23.30. Check other areas independently. Area differences do not establish causal living-cost effects.
Checking suggestion | Clarify full-time or part-time status, actual hours, overtime pay, and duties. National percentiles cannot establish skill premiums.

Which Holland interest types are closer to general office work?
Holland (RIASEC) | Use it to understand relative Conventional preferences. O*NET's interest code is C (Conventional): organizing information or data under procedures and rules, usually in office settings. Specific interest areas include office work, answering calls, bookkeeping, updating records, arranging meetings, and editing documents and files, and accounting, examining and analyzing accounting records and maintaining and reviewing accounts. This aligns with activities such as computers, 81; administrative activities, 68; documenting and recording information, 64; and processing information, 63. Questionnaires only raise questions; they do not determine suitability or job readiness.
Do not use it this way:If you struggle with sustained repetitive, detail-heavy tasks or maintaining checks and authority boundaries amid urgency and multitasking, a high interest score cannot change that practical cost. Confirm authority and confidentiality requirements for funds, information, and archives.
Test my Holland career interestsWhich Big Five traits are more relevant to this work?
Big Five personality | Raise self-observation questions about item-by-item checks, handovers, and urgency responses. This page provides no research predicting adjustment or performance from personality scores for this occupation and sets no hiring threshold.
Do not use it this way:Do not use a personality assessment saying you are unsuitable as a reason to give up or avoid entry. Check through practical training, shadowing, simulated office tasks, employer evaluations, and system-operation assessments.
View my Big Five personality traitsCan MBTI determine whether general office work suits me?
MBTI | Typology supports reflection on communication and work preferences. This occupation requires procedural communication and collaboration with coworkers, superiors, customers, and external organizations; preferences do not determine competence.
Do not use it this way:Use types only as a communication-style reference, not to infer whether you or others can process, check, communicate, and document well.
Understand my MBTI preferencesCan the Enneagram establish whether this occupation suits me?
Enneagram | Observe responses during peak periods, complaints, and competing urgent requests. When amounts or periods conflict, vouchers appear fabricated, or requests exceed authority, pausing, checking, and reporting matters more than type labels.
Do not use it this way:Do not explain transaction errors or conflicts through type labels. Return to whether receipt, checks, authority, and documentation were adequate.
Explore my Enneagram patternsCan I become a general office clerk if I am weak at math?
Intelligence and reasoning | Observe skills through understanding forms, identifying amount and period differences, and learning processes; assessment scores cannot replace these actual tasks.
Do not use it this way:High or low scores do not establish whether you can learn task processing, system operation, and checking. Test through practical training, shadowing, simulated office tasks, and system-operation assessments.
Understand my intelligence and reasoning performanceDo general office clerks need high emotional intelligence?
Emotional intelligence | Observe whether you explain progress, maintain records, and refer through procedures during urgency and complaints. This page has not established occupational effects linking assessment scores to service quality.
Do not use it this way:Verification suggestion | Rehearse communication repeatedly and record specific improvements. This page does not promise assessment scores or occupational performance will improve.

This occupation places more weight on care, accuracy, patience, rigorous procedural work, stability amid multitasking and frequent communication, and willingness to protect others' rights, funds, and information than on a personality type. O*NET gives C (Conventional), with work styles emphasizing attention to detail and dependability as exploration starting points.
Does this occupation suit introverts? It can, but communication is frequent: constant contact with others, 82%; telephone, 93% daily; email, 89% daily; face-to-face individual or team discussions, 74% daily. Clear communication with customers and external organizations is needed during complaints and urgent requests.
Can extroverts do well? Extraversion does not establish communication effectiveness; observe accurate delivery, listening to feedback, and completed records.
This round obtained no predictive-validity evidence for MBTI types in this occupation and assigns no best type. Check actual organizational processes and tasks; do not screen by type.
Which Holland interest types better suit this occupation? O*NET gives C: Conventional, organizing information or data under procedures and rules, usually in office settings, with specific office-work and accounting interests. Use this to explore task preferences, not predict performance.
Can personality scores predict performance? This page has no occupational predictive-validity evidence and cannot establish individual fit from scores. Check simulated tasks and actual role requirements.
Math requirements | First use G1 to check amounts, units, dates, and tables, then check target requirements. This page has not established the relative importance of mathematics ranking for performance and does not infer competence from assessment scores.
Editorial self-check | Observe clear communication, maintained records, and procedural referral during urgency and complaints. No occupational EQ-score validity was obtained; general skill descriptions are not hiring requirements.
Can the Enneagram tell me whether I am suited? No. It is a self-exploration tool, not an occupational-ability or fit conclusion. Assess fit through accurate receipt, processing, entry, filing, replies, and escalation within authority and processes.
Work-sample judgment | Use the G1 three tables and drafts to observe complete records, checking, and authority judgments in this task. Results do not establish actual competence or long-term fit.
Typical scenario：Scenario | During month-end reimbursement pressure, an invoice amount differs from the application and lacks approval. The handler requests entry and payment first, with missing details supplied later.
Main roles：You, finance, and authorized roles; the organization, customers, and coworkers
Possible consequences：Incorrect amounts, periods, parties, or identifiers, payments or reimbursements outside authority and limits, or noncompliant vouchers may cause fund losses, accounting errors, compliance responsibility, and loss of trust
Reduce risks：Check original vouchers, amounts, periods, parties, and identifiers and review under target rules. Payments follow authority and limits. Pause concerns and refer to authorized roles; two-person review is not a universal statutory rule for all clerks.

Typical scenario：Scenario | At handover, the previous shift's ledger lacks critical voucher images and registration times conflict with processing records. You are advised to fill gaps from the template.
Main roles：You, internal-control, and archive roles; the organization and stakeholders
Possible consequences：False, missing, fabricated, backdated, or untraceably altered ledgers, vouchers, or archives, or disordered filing, retrieval, and retention, affect internal controls, traceability, audits, complaints, and evidence retrieval
Reduce risks：Register promptly and truthfully. Supplement or correct ordinary transaction ledgers with identified people and times, preserving originals; do not fabricate or backdate. Original accounting vouchers must not be altered. The issuer reissues amount errors and handles other errors under Article 14; accounting books are corrected under Article 15. Check archive retention and appraised destruction separately.

Typical scenario：Scenario | A related party requests customer and employee information tables and contract scans in an uncontrolled group chat for quick checking.
Main roles：You, information, and confidentiality roles; customers, employees, and the organization
Possible consequences：Unauthorized access, external sending, or provision of customer, employee, or business personal information may violate personal-information and data-security requirements and harm rights and organizational reputation
Reduce risks：Manage personal information and business data by minimum necessity, permissions, and retention. External provision or sharing requires approval and documentation. Immediately report unauthorized access or leakage and follow response procedures.

Typical scenario：Scenario | During staff shortages, you are asked to sign a contract, use a seal, and promise delivery dates without authority.
Main roles：You, authorized, and legal roles; the organization and external stakeholders
Possible consequences：Signing contracts for others, exercising approval powers, making external commitments or using seals beyond authority, or issuing unauthorized certificates or information may create contract and legal risks and organizational liability
Reduce risks：Check actual duties or agency authority against organizational rules. Do not impersonate signatures or exceed authority; signing as a lawfully authorized representative is not universally prohibited. Civil Code Articles 170—172 apply conditions to duty-based agency, ratification, and apparent authority. Internal limits alone do not establish external contract invalidity.

Main roles：You, coworkers, and backup arrangements; the organization, customers, and service continuity
Possible consequences：A critical role or process depends on one person, causing interruptions and backlogs during leave, peaks, or system failures and potentially delaying customer and coworker matters, escalating complaints, and missing compliance deadlines
Reduce risks：Editorial handover suggestion | Check outstanding tasks, deadlines, materials, and actual approved access. Configure separately authorized backup accounts; do not share personal passwords or use untrained unauthorized cover.

Education is one recruitment condition; check whether mandatory in target notices. For funds or information roles, ask separately about training, authority, and background-check bases and scope, without universal requirements.
Education and training affect the entry starting point only. Independent accurate task processing mainly depends on on-the-job mentoring, systems, process training, and assessment.
Check whether background checks and confidentiality agreements apply by target role, jurisdiction, and lawful basis, not industry name alone.
Customer, employee, and business-data access follows minimum necessity and permissions; do not send data to unauthorized environments.
Work context emphasizes accuracy, 77% extremely important; constant contact, 82%; telephone, 93% daily; email, 89% daily; face-to-face individual or team discussions, 74% daily; controlled indoor work, 90% daily; sitting, 60%; repeating tasks, 66% extremely important; external customers or public, 65% extremely important; decision-making freedom, 34% some freedom; and typical workweek, 15% above 40 hours, 59% at 40 hours, 26% below 40 hours.
Incoming R1: at 09:00, reimbursement application B01 shows 1,250 yuan, while the invoice shows 1,150 yuan, period September 2026, party S01, approval blank. R2: at 09:05, asks whether B01 can be paid that day, with a reply deadline of 10:00.
Incoming R3: at 09:06, requests a financial-account list for employee identifiers E01/E02 in a public group, due 09:30. Incoming R4: at 09:07, meeting M01 is approved by meeting lead Q for October 2, 2026, 10:00—10:30, indoor meeting room A, with notice due by 11:00.
Exercise authority: the clerk may only register, check, refer, and draft replies, with no payment or approval powers and no public disclosure of financial accounts. Finance F handles reimbursement, information lead I handles R3, and Q handles meetings. Referred to F at 09:10 and I at 09:12; neither has replied.
Exercise archive rules: B01 and vouchers go in the finance area; record linked identifiers only without copying sensitive details. R3 records contain identifiers and request categories only in the controlled area; M01 goes in the meeting area. Retention periods are unspecified; mark policy lookup pending, without inventing years or deleting files.
Three self-built table fields: transaction ledger = identifier / receipt / deadline / category / status / basis / referral / missing items; checking table = identifier / original value / difference / approval / response; filing handover = linked identifier / area / access holder / retention basis / outstanding tasks. No external template or real personal data is needed.
Recalculate the B01 difference and time remaining to R3/R2 deadlines; draft a reply to R2 without promising payment and a notice for M01, without actual sending.
Mark whether each step was completed independently or with guidance.
Mark steps involving funds, contracts, personal information, and archives that you or authorized roles must complete under authority and rules.
Optionally ask a peer to recalculate independently and identify checker, date, and objections. Professional administrative or financial review is optional, not a prerequisite.
Record before and after corrections and their basis; do not label drafts or pending approvals as completed.
Include no real customer, employee, organizational, or identifying information. Use identifiers and synthetic data where needed.
Identify sources and assumptions, distinguishing completed matters, missing materials, and authorized-processing needs.
Explain who reviewed tool outputs and which original-material check occurred before use.
If amounts, periods, or identifiers are examples, label them and explain that authorized roles provide final confirmation.

Employment scale, growth, and job openings
BLS notes that automation and electronic file sharing let other office staff perform some clerical tasks. Employment is projected to decline, with all annual openings from exits or occupational-transfer replacements. This does not quantify independent outsourcing or GenAI effects.
What it cannot establish：Basis | 2025 BLS employment is 2,600,000 jobs, including 0.7% self-employment. Limits | 2025—2035 projections are not current vacancies. OEWS wages exclude self-employment; use the series separately.

Wages: median and percentiles
National and CA percentiles were obtained and kept separate; CA's annual median is 48,460 and hourly 23.30. Other-area, industry, and seniority percentiles were not obtained; do not infer causes of individual income.
What it cannot establish：Basis | U.S. 2025 national employee wages for 43-9061, presented through O*NET. Limits | Wages include commissions, production bonuses, and some allowances and exclude overtime premiums, nonproduction bonuses, stock bonuses, and employer benefit costs.

Occupational wages and employment: statistical definitions and gaps
Chinese statistics | NBS2025 includes industry averages and broad job-category averages in enterprises above designated size; neither is a precise 43-9061 distribution. This page did not obtain the matching distribution and does not extrapolate individual wages across jurisdictions.
What it cannot establish：Legal settings, occupational classifications, and statistical definitions differ; no splicing or conversion is made. This page's China section records only definitions and visible gaps.

Wages include commissions, production bonuses, and some allowances and exclude overtime premiums, nonproduction bonuses, stock bonuses, and employer benefit costs. Self-employment income is not covered. BLS2025—2035 Table 1.2: 2,600,000 jobs in 2025 to 2,443,700 in 2035, official net change −156,200, −6.0%, 249,000 annual openings, and 0.7% self-employment. Endpoint subtraction gives −156,300, differing by 100 from the official net change due to independent rounding. Jobs are not unique people; projections are not current vacancies.
This page has not obtained a precise Chinese occupational wage distribution. NBS2025 contains industry averages and broad job-category averages in enterprises above designated size; neither is the precise 43-9061 distribution. This page's gap does not establish nationwide absence. Do not extrapolate from proxies or U.S. wages.
O*NET 43-9061.00 context shows telephone, 93% daily; email, 89% daily; constant contact, 82%; controlled indoor work, 90% daily; face-to-face individual or team discussions, 74% daily; accuracy, 77% extremely important; external customers or public, 65% extremely important; repeating tasks, 66% extremely important; teamwork, 64% extremely important; sitting, 60% continually or almost continually; decision-making freedom, 34% some freedom; determining tasks, priorities, and goals, 40% limited freedom; time pressure, 42% weekly or more but not daily; repetitive motions, 33% continually or almost continually; unpleasant, angry, or discourteous people, 44% yearly or more but not monthly; and typical workweek, 15% above 40 hours, 59% at 40 hours, 26% below 40 hours. Work features frequent calls, email, and face-to-face communication, indoor settings, prolonged sitting, repetition, accuracy requirements, and limited decision autonomy.
Test drafts, retrieval, and initial discrepancy screening against originals. This page has no precise occupational exposure score, adoption rate, or effect. Software mentions in 2025 advertisements are not usage, and BLS's −6% projection is not an independent GenAI effect. Relevant people and organizations retain lawful bases, authority, and responsibility.
BLS's education and training crosswalk lists typical high-school or equivalent education, no related experience, and short-term on-the-job training for SOC 43-9061. U.S. O*NET places it in Job Zone 1—2, little to some preparation, with SVP below 6.0. O*NET education responses are 41% high-school or equivalent, 36% associate or other two-year degree, and 15% some college. There is 1 registered apprenticeship direction, Health Unit Coordinator. This does not replace employer and organizational credential and authority requirements; actual requirements depend on jurisdiction and organization.
Distinguish education, system skills, certifications, organizational role authority and limits, and seal and contract powers. Entry usually has no mandatory professional qualification, but funds, contracts, personal information, and archives require organizational authority, limits, and confidentiality status. O*NET lists related certifications such as Microsoft Office Specialist (MOS): Excel Associate and Nationally Certified Medical Office Assistant; the directory is not role authority or fund- and contract-handling powers. Organizational authority, system permissions, and confidentiality agreements are a separate step.
Editorial risks include amount and voucher errors, unauthorized commitments, distorted records, unauthorized personal information, and interrupted handovers. Ordinary ledgers may be truthfully supplemented and traceably corrected; original accounting vouchers must not be altered, and issuers reissue amount errors. Check reviews and authority by specific role rather than treating two-person review as a universal statutory threshold.

Endpoint subtraction gives −156,300, differing by 100 from the official net change due to independent rounding. Jobs are not unique people; projections are not current vacancies. Compare secretarial, front-desk, accounting, enterprise-document, or administrative-management directions, checking tasks, training, experience, and authority anew.

Checking suggestion | Ask about sitting and screen-work arrangements, breaks, complaints, and anti-harassment channels. For specific confidential or fund-handling roles, check the basis, scope, and training for background checks. This page has no evidence that all clerks generally need health examinations or background verification.
Checking guidance | U.S. O*NET places this occupation in Job Zone 1—2, little to some preparation, with an SVP range below 6.0 and usually a high-school diploma or equivalent. The O*NET education survey shows 41% requiring high-school or equivalent education, 36% an associate or other two-year degree, and 15% some college. BLS's education and training crosswalk lists typical high-school or equivalent entry education, no related experience, and short-term on-the-job training. This does not replace employer and competent-authority credential and training requirements.
Checking suggestion | O*NET respondents report 15% above 40 hours weekly, 59% at 40 hours, and 26% below 40 hours; this does not establish widespread overtime. Ask the target employer about peak periods, overtime, duty arrangements, and contractual wage components.
Checking guidance | Interfaces with superiors, colleagues, finance, human resources, external customers, and suppliers define responsibility boundaries for tasks, funds, information, and filing and must be clarified beforehand.
Checking guidance | Traceability and documentation requirements for ledgers, vouchers, archives, replies, and handovers define task, fund, information, and responsibility boundaries. Clarify templates, deadlines, amendments, archiving, permissions, and retention beforehand; personal information and business data also follow minimum necessity and permission rules.
Interest and work-style data are for self-questioning only, not hiring or performance conclusions.
Accuracy and compliance depend on process understanding, checks, and documentation; digital tools support entry, retrieval, statistics, and routing.
Powers over funds, contracts, information, and archives follow organizational authority and rules; tools and system permissions do not create authorization.
Submit reference-answer checks and a short review, noting that F / I have not replied, retention periods await policy checks, and the meeting notice is only a draft. Do not falsely mark completion.
At 09:12, R3 has 18 minutes until its 09:30 deadline. At 09:10, R2 has 50 minutes until its 10:00 deadline. First prevent R3 public disclosure and refer to I, then handle B01 and tell R2 verification is pending. M01's draft notice is due 11:00. This is the exercise's risk-priority suggestion, not a fixed legally mandated order.
Four statuses: R1 awaits F checking and approval; R2 awaits a draft reply stating verification is pending without promising same-day payment; R3 public disclosure is refused and awaits I's lawful-processing review; R4 has a notice draft only. The meeting lasts 30 minutes and has approval, but nothing has been sent.
Filing handover: link B01 to the finance area and hand to F; R3 goes to the controlled area and I without account details; M01 goes to the meeting area and Q. All retention periods await checking; delete nothing in any area. The three tables cross-reference R1—R4 and B01/M01, preserving original inputs.
After self-checking, optionally ask a peer to check identifiers, amounts, statuses, and authority. Professional review is optional, not a prerequisite. The exercise establishes no real-role qualifications or competence.
