As business companies grow larger, they need more people to do tile paper work such as keeping in touch with all the things that are happening in that company. For instance, as the company grows, no one person can be on top of the whole situation, so they break it down into areas of work which require things to be typed, filed, and books to be kept. Records have to be kept of past and present transactions, communications have to be written, mail has to be sorted out, letters have to be answered, and all kinds of other clerical work has to be done and kept up so that the people on top have a clear picture of the whole company so they know where, when and what decisions should be made about certain things and how to expand their company more. When they break people down into different types of jobs, they pay different people more or less depending on what they feel is more skilled work. When I was a secretary they paid me more than the typist although a lot of times the typist did more work that I did and her job was just as important to the company as my job.
All clerical jobs are an important part of the company.
They usually pay well so that people won't mind so much having to sell their skill and their manpower to a company which makes many times over what they pay their employees. No one should have to sell their labor for the aggrandizement of a handful of exploiters.
