Growth Outlook:
The employment of material recording clerks (which includes shipping, receiving, and inventory clerks) is projected to decline 6% from 2024 to 2034. This trend is driven by the introduction of automation in warehouses, including automated storage and retrieval systems (ASRS), RFID tagging, and automated guided vehicles (AGVs) that streamline routine logging and sorting. Despite this contraction, approximately 108,000 positions open annually to replace workers retiring or transferring, making skills in modern WMS and database coordination crucial.
