I recall a time when an office of any size had a "typing pool" and "file
clerks" - jobs that were relatively unskilled but paid decent wages and
benefits. Computerization almost eliminated those sorts of jobs but did
not replace them with other jobs.

Remember also that that was at a time when young ladies coming into
the job force became nurses, teachers, social workers, telephone
operators, or clerical workers, or else they married young and stayed
home raising kids.

The era of such young ladies becoming technicians or office managers
in any great number was yet to come, let alone becoming professionals
(physicians, engineers, lawyers, etc) or taking "man's jobs" such as
firefighters, police officers, and construction trade / craft workers.

Technology was not the only reason for such changes. Our society
changed.
