For many people, a job as a data entry and information processing worker is their first job after high school. Although overall employment is projected to decline, the need to replace workers who leave this large occupation each year should produce job openings. Job prospects should be best for those with expertise in appropriate computer software applications and who meet company requirements for keyboarding speed.
Some workers in this occupation telecommute, working from their homes on personal computers linked by telephone lines to those in the main office. This arrangement enables them to key in material at home while still being able to produce printed copy in their offices.
Students acquire skills in keyboarding and in the use of word processing, spreadsheet, and database management computer software in high schools, community colleges, business schools, temporary help agencies, or self-teaching aids such as books, tapes, and Internet tutorials.
