Accounting, classification, analysis, and interpretation of the financial, or bookkeeping, records of an enterprise. The professional who supplies such services is known as an accountant. Auditing is an important branch of accounting. Approximately 1 out of 4 bookkeeping, accounting, and auditing clerks worked part time in 2000. The region of the country, size of city, and type and size of establishment all influence salary levels. Also, the level of expertise required and the complexity and uniqueness of a clerk's responsibilities also may affect earnings. Median hourly earnings of full-time accounting clerks is $12.34.

Adjusters
Claims adjusters, appraisers, examiners and investigators perform a wide range of functions, but their most important role is acting as intermediaries with the public. Insurance companies and independent adjusting firms employ adjusters, appraisers, examiners, and investigators to deal with the challenges they face, such as handling claims, interpreting and explaining policies or regulations, and resolving billing disputes. Some report to the office every morning to get their assignments while others simply call from home and spend their days traveling to claim sites. New technology, such as laptop computers and cell phones, is making telecommuting easier for claims adjusters and auto damage appraisers. Many adjusters work inside their office only a few hours a week. Some adjusters' business is based entirely out of their home. Earnings of claims adjusters, examiners, and investigators vary significantly. Annual earnings were $41,080 to 68,130 in 2000.

Administrative Assistant
Administrative Assitants are aided in these tasks by a variety of office equipment, such as facsimile machines, photocopiers, and telephone systems. In addition, secretaries and administrative assistants increasingly use personal computers to create spreadsheets, compose correspondence, manage databases, and create reports and documents via desktop publishing, and using digital graphics—all tasks previously handled by managers and other professionals. At the same time, these other office workers have assumed many tasks traditionally assigned to secretaries and administrative assistants, such as word processing and answering the telephone. Because secretaries and administrative assistants are often relieved from dictation and typing, they can support more members of the executive staff. In a number of organizations, secretaries and administrative assistants work in teams in order to work flexibly and share their expertise. Specific job duties vary with experience and titles. Executive secretaries and administrative assistants, for example, perform fewer clerical tasks than other secretaries. In addition to arranging conference calls, and scheduling meetings, they may handle more complex responsibilities such as conducting research, preparing statistical reports, training employees, and supervising other clerical staff. More than 1 secretary in 7 works part time and many others work in temporary positions. Salaries vary a great deal, however, reflecting differences in skill, experience, and level of responsibility. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $22,440, and the highest 10 percent earned more than $50,970. Medical secretaries earned a median annual salary of $23,430 in 2000. The middle 50 percent earned between $19,530 and $28,120. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $16,510, and the highest 10 percent earned more than $34,510. Median annual earnings of all other secretaries, excluding legal, medical, and executive secretaries, were about $23,870 in 2000.

Analysts
Analysts solve computer problems and enable computer technology to meet individual needs of an organization. They help an organization realize the maximum benefit from its investment in equipment, personnel, and business processes. This process may include planning and developing new computer systems or devising ways to apply existing systems' resources to additional operations. Systems analysts may design new systems, including both hardware and software, or add a new software application to harness more of the computer's power. Most systems analysts work with a specific type of system that varies with the type of organization they work for-for example, business, accounting, or financial systems, or scientific and engineering systems. Some systems analysts also are referred to as systems developers or systems architects. Given the technology available today, telecommuting is common for computer professionals. As networks expand, more work can be done from remote locations using modems, laptops, electronic mail, and the Internet. Median annual earnings of computer systems analysts were $59,330 in 2000. The middle 50 percent earned between $46,980 and $73,210 a year. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $37,460, and the highest 10 percent earned more than $89,040.

Bookkeeping
Clerks handle all financial transactions and recordkeeping. They record all transactions, post debits and credits, produce financial statements, and prepare reports and summaries for supervisors and managers. Bookkeepers also prepare bank deposits by compiling data from cashiers, verifying and balancing receipts, and sending cash, checks, or other forms of payment to the bank. They also may handle the payroll, make purchases, prepare invoices, and keep track of overdue accounts. Bookkeeping, accounting, and auditing clerks are an organization's financial record keepers. They update and maintain one or more accounting records, including those that tabulate expenditures, receipts, accounts payable and receivable, and profit and loss. They have a wide range of skills and knowledge, from full-charge bookkeepers, who can maintain an entire company's books, to accounting clerks who handle specific accounts. All of these clerks make numerous computations each day and increasingly must be comfortable using computers to calculate and record data. Approximately 1 out of 4 bookkeeping, accounting, and auditing clerks worked part time in 2000.

Computer Programmer
Write, test, and maintain the detailed instructions, called programs or software, that computers must follow to perform their functions. These programs tell the computer what to do, such as which information to identify and access, how to process it, and what equipment to use. Programmers write these commands by breaking down each step into a logical series, converting specifications into a language the computer understands. While some still work with traditional programming languages like COBOL, object-oriented programming languages, such as C++ and Java, computer-aided software engineering (CASE) tools, and artificial intelligence shells now are being used to create and maintain programs. These languages and tools allow portions of code to be reused in programs that require similar routines. Many programmers also customize a package to clients’ specific needs or create better packages. Computer programmers averaged $29.33/hour nationwide for 2000.

Claims Processing
Claims processors primarily plan and schedule the work required to process a claim. They investigate claims by interviewing the claimant and witnesses, consulting police and hospital records, and inspecting property damage to determine the extent of the company's liability. Claims adjusters and examiners may also consult with other professionals, who can offer a more expert evaluation of a claim. Some of these professionals include accountants, architects, construction workers, engineers, lawyers, and physicians. The information gathered, including photographs and written or taped statements, is included in a report that is then used to evaluate a claim. When the policyholder's claim is legitimate, the claims adjuster negotiates with the claimant and settles the claim. When claims are contested, adjusters may testify in court and refer claims to an investigator. Earnings of claims adjusters, examiners, and investigators vary significantly. Median annual earnings were $41,080 in 2000. The middle 50 percent earned between $31,960 and $54,300.

Majority of writers are paid either by the work submitted (job by job basis), few are paid a monthly salary, and even fewer are full benefit employees.

Copy writers
Prepare advertising copy for use by publication or broadcast media, or to promote the sale of goods and services. Copywriters often get paid per word or page depending on the media.

Customer Service
Customer service representatives interact with customers to provide information in response to inquires about products and services. They also handle and resolve customer's complaints. Some customer service representatives assist individuals interested in opening accounts for various utilities such as electricity and gas, or for communication services such as cable television and telephone. In many cases, they gather information by phone or in person. They receive orders for services to be installed, turned on, turned off, or changed. They may look into and resolve complaints about billings and service provided by phone, cable television, and utility companies. Customer service representatives also may explain how to use equipment and solve any equipment problems. Others explain to users how to navigate an Internet site. This occupation is well-suited to flexible work schedules, and many opportunities for part-time work will continue to be available, particularly as organizations attempt to cut labor costs by hiring more temporary workers. Web sites, e-mail, and more recently, wireless communications, are proving more efficient because they provide targeted customer service. As more business is conducted over the Internet, more customer service representatives will be needed over the next decade to answer questions, provide assistance in navigating Web sites, make product recommendations, and quickly and efficiently respond to the growing volume of e-mail. Customer service representatives averaged $11.97/hour nationwide for 2000.

Data Base Management
Determine ways to organize and store data and work with database management systems software. They set up computer databases and test and coordinate changes to them. Because they also may be responsible for design implementation and system security, database administrators often plan and coordinate security measures.

Data Entry
Usually input lists of items, numbers, or other data into computers or complete forms that appear on a computer screen. They may also manipulate existing data, edit current information, or proofread new entries to a database for accuracy. Some examples of data sources include customers' personal information, medical records, and membership lists. Usually this information is used internally by a company and may be reformatted before use by other departments or by customers. Organizations need to process a rapidly growing amount of information. Data entry and information processing workers help ensure this work is handled smoothly and efficiently. By typing texts, entering data into a computer, operating a variety of office machines, and performing other clerical duties, these workers help organizations keep up with the rapid changes of the "Information Age." Entry-level positions such as data entry and information processing workers generally need a high school diploma. Some workers telecommute by working from their homes on personal computers linked by telephone lines to those in the main office. This enables them to type material at home while still being able to produce printed copy in their offices. Median annual earnings of data entry keyers in 2000 were $21,300. The middle 50 percent earned between $17,850 and $25,820. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $15,140, and the highest 10 percent earned more than $30,910.

Data Processing
All organizations today rely on computer and information technology to conduct business and operate more efficiently. Often, however, these institutions do not have the resources to effectively implement new technologies or satisfy their changing needs. When this happens, they turn to the computer and data processing services industry to meet their specialized needs on a contract or customer basis. Firms may enlist the services of one of over 178,000 establishments in the computer and data processing services industry for help with a particular project or problem, such as setting up a secure website or establishing a marketplace online. Alternatively, they may choose to “outsource” one or more activities, such as the management of their entire data center or help-desk support, to a computer and data processing services firm. Information services include data preparation and processing services, as well as information retrieval services. Establishments may provide payroll processing, credit reporting, data entry services, and optical scanning services, as well as the leasing of computer time. Usually, information is collected from the client’s databases, processed, and passed to other online subscribers, to contracted users, or back to the client. With the Internet and electronic business creating tremendous volumes of data, there is growing need to be able to store, manage, and extract data effectively. Establishments in these sectors also include a number of Internet service providers. These companies provide access to end users of the Internet who usually subscribe for a set fee. Some workers telecommute by working from their homes on personal computers linked by telephone lines to those in the main office. This enables them to type material at home while still being able to produce printed copy in their offices. Median hourly rate for 2000 was $9.84.

Desktop Publishing
Using computer software, desktop publishers format and combine text, numerical data, photographs, charts, and other visual graphic elements to produce publication-ready material. Depending on the nature of a particular project, desktop publishers may write and edit text, create graphics to accompany text, convert photographs and drawings into digital images and then manipulate those images, design page layouts, create proposals, develop presentations and advertising campaigns, typeset and do color separation, and translate electronic information onto film or other traditional forms. Materials produced by desktop publishers include books, business cards, calendars, magazines, newsletters and newspapers, packaging, slides, and tickets. As companies have brought the production of marketing, promotional, and other kinds of materials in-house, they increasingly have employed people who can produce such materials. Earnings for desktop publishers vary according to level of experience, training, location, and size of firm. Median annual earnings of desktop publishers were $30,600 in 2000. The middle 50 percent earned between $22,890 and $40,210. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $17,800, and the highest 10 percent earned more than $50,920 a year.

Drafting
Drafters prepare technical drawings and plans used by production and construction workers to build everything from manufactured products, such as toys, toasters, industrial machinery, or spacecraft, to structures, such as houses, office buildings, or oil and gas pipelines. Their drawings provide visual guidelines, showing the technical details of the products and structures and specifying dimensions, materials to be used, and procedures and processes to be followed. Drafters fill in technical details, using drawings, rough sketches, specifications, codes, and calculations previously made by engineers, surveyors, architects, or scientists. For example, they use their knowledge of standardized building techniques to draw in the details of a structure. Some drafters use their knowledge of engineering and manufacturing theory and standards to draw the parts of a machine in order to determine design elements, such as the number and kind of fasteners needed to assemble it. About 10,000 were self-employed in 2000. Earnings for drafters vary by specialty and level of responsibility. Median hourly earnings of architectural and civil drafters were $16.93 in 2000.

Transcriptionists, also called transcribers and stenographers, listen to dictated recordings made by physicians and other healthcare professionals and transcribe them into medical reports, correspondence, and other administrative material. They generally listen to recordings on a special headset, using a foot pedal to pause the recording when necessary, and key the text into a personal computer or word processor, editing as necessary for grammar and clarity. The documents they produce include discharge summaries, history and physical examination reports, operating room reports, consultation reports, autopsy reports, diagnostic imaging studies, and referral letters. Medical transcriptionists return transcribed documents to the dictator for review and signature, or correction. These documents eventually become part of patients' permanent files. An increasing number of medical transcriptionists telecommute from home-based offices as employees or subcontractors for hospitals and transcription services or as self-employed independent contractors.
