Administration has always been hit very hard. People don’t remember, but in the 1950s offices regularly had dozens of people who’s only job was calculating things and drafting charts and reports. In some domains they were literally called “computers”, since “compute” has a meaning prior to the electronic computers we now know.
All of these jobs were replaced by a spreadsheet decades ago.
