Clerks are more produtive. The more you can get the better.

Clerks to Craftsmen ratio should be 1:5 so you will get more throughput, but in... late mid game... factories will run good even without them, if you research techs well.


PS. Clerks give you RP points. If you have 4% in whole country you get full bonus. But the clergy is much more important.

Actually the ratio is 1:4 not 1:5 as you want 80% craftsmen and 20% clerks.

Omg
I am that dumb. I knew it was 80% to 20% but I counted it bad ._.

I tend to NF craftsmen until I have a good percentage of them, sometimes I stop every 10% and change to clerks to match. Pops generally need to have a 50% litt. rate before they promote/demote to clerks anyway, so no point in NF'ing them prior to this point. Of course, some countries already have litt rates above this..and some suggestions on this forum have uggested its more effective to NF clerks all the way.
