clerical work  

Définition(s)

  • For a century, clerical work has been the archetypal paid job for women in the United States. Initially dominated by men, clerical occupations quickly became among the most gender-segregated of all jobs, numerically dominated by women and discursively marked as “women's work.” Clerical work captures many of the major cultural, social, and economic changes of the past century: the shift to a service-based economy powered by huge corporations, the decline of unionized blue-collar jobs, rapid technological change, and the massive influx of women into paid work.
