government clerks
Public sector employees
Government clerks are employees who handle administrative and clerical duties in public agencies—processing paperwork, maintaining records, staffing service windows.
The term often carries connotations of bureaucratic tedium: She spent twenty years as a government clerk, stamping forms.
In older usage, clerk could mean any literate official, so government clerks once held more varied roles than the modern sense suggests.
