Data entry clerks

Reshaping now
67.1%of tasks show up in AI use
+0.6%job postings vs a year ago

Data entry clerks score 67%, one of the highest figures we track. Pulling information out of documents and moving it between systems is something AI does well and cheaply. This is a role being reshaped now, not someday. The skills that transfer are accuracy, checking and knowing what bad data looks like, which is exactly what AI-fed systems still need.

How to read this: AI task coverage comes from the Anthropic Economic Index, which measures how people use Claude, not the whole labour market. Job postings data comes from Indeed Hiring Lab and reflects the wording of job ads, not actual AI use at work. Employment and pay are US figures unless stated. AI use is not the same as job loss; our verdict explains what we think it means.
