Employment Outlook? Applicants for jobs as office administrative support supervisors or managers are likely to encounter keen competition because the number of applicants should greatly exceed the number of job openings. Employment is expected to grow more slowly than the average for all occupations through 2010. In addition to the job openings arising from growth, a larger number of openings will stem from the need to replace workers who transfer to other occupations or leave this large occupation for other reasons. Employment of office and administrative support supervisors and managers is largely affected by the demand for administrative support workers. The continuing increase in office automation due to new technology should increase support workers\' productivity and allow a wider variety of tasks to be performed by more people in professional positions, requiring fewer office and administrative support workers. Nature of Work? Word/information processing specialists must be knowledgeable in integrated systems and functions. Excellent language and equipment operating skills, as well as a general understanding of an office structure and procedures, are essential. Additional skills in accounting, data base management, data processing and telecommunications are required. Related Job Titles?
