    In the late 1800s almost all of these were men, but today, only five percent are. What are they?

    Question #84531. Asked by michellemc0. (Aug 14 07 4:34 PM)

    		I can't quickly find the percentage you're asking for, but I would think the answer would be "secretaries."

    The Wiki article on "clerk" says, "Traditionally clerical positions have been held almost exclusively by women." Tell that to Bob Cratchit!
