You'd be surprised. My wife had an accounting job, and when either of the other two people were out for the day, she had to cover. She could manually do their whole day worth of work in 45 minutes.

They were slower, but they also chit chatted with half the office, went to lunch, etc.

Their jobs consisted of pulling some data from here or there, entering it into excel, sending a few emails, entering some data into another system, printing some checks. All stuff that's easy to automate (you'd probably need more than Excel in this case)
