The adoption of mechanical calculators led to higher productivity of bookkeepers and a decrease in demand for "superstars" who could rapidly compute sums by hand. The proliferation of companies making calculators also occurred, and the use of calculators contributed to the feminization of bookkeeping as it became less dependent on physical strength and more on skill with a machine. However, it is unlikely that the adoption of calculators led to higher salaries for bookkeepers as automation typically leads to a decrease in demand for labor and lower wages.
