Microsoft Office can be found in most office environments and a technical proficiency in this software is often required for employment.

Be in Demand for a Great Job!

The U.S. Department of Labor* has the following expectations for Information Clerks and Data Processors.

Employment of Information Clerks is expected to grow faster than the average for all occupations through 2013. This increase will result from rapid growth in services industries—including physicians’ offices, law firms, temporary-help agencies, and consulting firms—where most are employed.

Job prospects will be most favorable for those with the best technical skills—in particular, expertise in appropriate computer software applications. Data entry and information processing workers must be willing to upgrade their skills continuously in order to remain marketable.

This work frequently serves as a steppingstone to higher paying jobs with increased responsibilities.
