The Impact of Computers on the Employment of Clerks and Managers.

Osterman, Paul

Industrial and Labor Relations Review, v39 n2 p175-86 Jan 1986

Investigates how the increased use of computers affects clerical and managerial employment. The author finds that the net effect of computers in 1972-1978 was to depress the employment of clerks and managers substantially, but that the pattern over time supports the bureaucratic reorganization hypothesis.
