Why this score

Sorting, indexing, and retrieving physical and digital files — the daily backbone of this role — are exactly the tasks that document management AI and robotic process automation handle today. Scanning, classifying, tagging, and routing records are already being replaced by intelligent capture software at organizations of every size. The economic case for automating file clerks is as strong as it gets: the work is repetitive, the tools are cheap, and there is almost no regulatory barrier preventing employers from eliminating these positions. If your job is primarily moving information from one place to another, the window to reposition yourself is closing fast.
