Admin Before Mad Men

Fifty years ago, the number one job for women in the U.S. was that of secretary. Not surprising. In 2015, the number one job for women in the U.S. is still that of secretary. The name changed long ago to administrative assistant, and the role dramatically broadened over the years. The importance of the position increased, with salary adjustments keeping step, making it a more viable career choice than ever before for both women and men.
