Financial clerks held more than 3.7 million jobs in 2002. The following tabulation shows employment in individual occupations:
Bookkeeping, accounting, and auditing clerks
1,983,000
Tellers
530,000
Billing and posting clerks and machine operators
507,000
Bill and account collectors
413,000
Payroll and timekeeping clerks
198,000
Procurement clerks
77,000
Gaming cage workers
18,000
These workers are employed in virtually every industry, including
manufacturing, business and health services, and government. However,
it is becoming more common for financial clerks to work for companies
that specialize in performing specific financial services, such as
bookkeeping, bill collection, medical billing, and payroll services, as
companies seek to cut costs and outsource many administrative
functions. Also, more financial clerks are finding jobs with personnel
supply agencies, as companies increasingly hire temporary workers for
peak periods.
All financial clerk occupations have some part-time workers, but tellers and
bookkeeping, accounting, and auditing clerks have the most, with more than one-fourth working part time.
