 Clerks

Clerks worked in offices performing day to day activities to help quicken progress with work. These were often full-time jobs that demanded proper training and skills to help maintain an office. Clerks were in charge of filing records, discarding of useless information, running a day to day errands between offices and scheduling meetings for their masters. After a while due to the need for an eye of detail and maintenance, the position began to attract more female workers than male workers.
