Data Entry Jobs Overview
Data entry is regarded as one of the most effective methods for gathering data. Gathered data aids organisations and companies with their decision making and helps them to track progress and improve company outcomes. Data entry clerks are essential in helping businesses collect and manage data, maintain records and databases, and help run the day-to-day operations of a business. If you’re a fast typist, highly detail-oriented, and can work well under pressure - data entry could be a good fit for you.
Data entry workers also help keep accounting, electronic, and historical information up to date. Professionals working in data entry jobs are employed in various industries, including banking, insurance, manufacturing, healthcare, and supply-chain logistics. A data entry clerk is responsible for entering information into digital formats such as word processing, spreadsheets, or proprietary software.

- creating spreadsheets and running reports on data

- entering data into the central database
- assessing data accuracy
