Receiving Clerks - Employment & Outlook

The table below provides information about the number of workers in this career in various regions. It also provides information about the expected growth rate and future job openings.

Employment

Major employers:

  • Manufacturers
  • Warehousing and storage companies
  • Department stores

Outlook

Demand for clerks is expected to decline. Automation and technologies such as radio frequency identification (RFID) tags allow workers to count inventory and locate items more quickly. This reduces the number of clerks needed.

Even with automation, some jobs will be created because of increasing trade. Also, many tasks cannot be automated. In addition, many job openings will occur as current clerks leave the career.
