work as a data entry operator. And I also have experience in doing this work and other service. Though many companies only allow those who have been trained in-house to work offsite, data entry can often be done from home, especially as remote workers are more easily managed, thanks to better technology. Keep in mind, though, that because data entry from home is almost always done by independent contractors—who are not subject to minimum wage laws and who are in competition with a global workforce—the pay is typically lower for home-based workers than for those who work in offices. You're also less likely to receive merit increases, bonuses, or other perks or benefits than you would in a traditional office setting.
