Administrative assistants score 45%. Scheduling, drafting emails, formatting documents and taking minutes are now everyday AI tasks. Postings in Indeed’s administrative category are flat on a year ago, so the job is changing faster than it’s disappearing. The assistants who do best will be the ones who become the office’s go-to person for the new tools.
