Most jobs require only a high school diploma.
Numerous job opportunities should arise due to high turnover in this occupation. Little or no change is expected in overall employment, reflecting the spread of computers and other office automation as well as organizational restructuring. Without the assistance of workers in records processing occupations, many organizations would be lost. These workers maintain, update, and process a variety of records, ranging from payrolls to information on the shipment of goods or bank statements. They ensure that other workers get paid on time, customers' questions are answered, and records are kept of all transactions.
