But most people can't stand doing data entry work and especially those who actually are or feel they are overqualified for it never stick around.
#Keystrokes per hour average full
She types 16,000 kph with full accuracy so it's easy for her to excel in this field, and she's gotten a lot of bonuses and makes decent money for a zero stress job. She puts on her headphones and gets into her groove. Great post! A good friend of mine LOVES doing it. (It is my perfect, job BTW, but they are few and far between and don't pay worth a darn ($8.50 per hour)). I would think that someone with an IT degree would be rather bored with a job like that. The simply want someone who will sit there for 8 hours and plug away data. In fact, I would think that employers would not want someone who was TOO smart about computers.

When it comes to data entry, it's all about speed (with accuracy, of course). I tested out at 12,000 kph and I type about 84 wpm (on a good day). 10,000 kph probably closer to 60 wpm (considered "good") and 12,000 kph which would be about 75 - 80 wpm, roughly speaking. The "basic" speed is about 8500 kph (keystrokes per hour) which would translate, loosely to about 45 wpm. LOLĭata entry speed is not measured in wpm. Whenever I am applying for a data entry position I always put it under "special skills" or "additional training" or if there is no room for it, I will write it in big letters across the top of the page. Thus, one would need 250/50 or 5 characters per written word.


This is due to the fact that the average operator types for 50 minutes every workday hour, with a character count of five per written word. Anyone know what the benchmark typing speed is (in wpm, characters.) Plus, how do you illustrate accuracy in your application? How many keystrokes does a typist type per hour According to Coleman Data Solutions, 250 words per minute equals a typists keystrokes per hour. Interesting point about the speed and accuracy.
