Information and Record Clerks, All Other
Information and Record Clerks, All Other (SOC 43-4199) earn a median $49,500 a year ($23.80 an hour) in the United States, with 134,920 employed as of May 2025; the highest-paying state is District of Columbia.
What information and record clerks, all other do
This residual group collects information and record clerks whose work does not fit a named occupation such as receptionist, file clerk, or reservation agent. The alternate titles O*NET lists show how varied it is: admissions evaluators, attendance clerks, auction assistants, clerical investigators, code clerks, creel clerks, crew clerks, and dealer accounts investigators. What such jobs share is gathering, recording, or supplying information and records, but the tasks and work settings differ more than in the specific occupations, and no single description fits every position. A job that is mainly one of the named activities, such as filing, receiving visitors, or interviewing, is classified in that group instead of here. Because the SOC definition says only that the group holds information and record clerks not listed separately, readers should treat it as a catch-all and look at the specific occupations first before assuming a job belongs in it.
Also called: Admissions Evaluator, Attendance Clerk, Auction Assistant, Clerical Investigator, Code Clerk.

BLS published a median annual wage of $43,160 for information and record clerks, all other in May 2021 and $49,500 in May 2025, with employment of 155,080 and 134,920.
| Release | Median annual | Median hourly | Employment |

BLS does not design OEWS as a time series: each release pools three years of samples, and occupational classifications, area definitions and estimation methods change between releases, so a difference between two releases is not a measure of change over time. The figures are shown as published, side by side, and nothing is computed from them. See how often OEWS is updated.
