projected to fall as a result of the increase in PCs which enable other employees to carry out
work previously done by word processors and typists. For instance, the majority of professionals
and managers utilize PCs to perform their own word processing. However, since technologies
relating to data entry keyers tend to be more expensive to implement, employment of such
employees will decrease less than word processors and typists.
Employment growth rate seen by data entry keyers will still be tempered by improved
productivity as a variety of new data-capturing innovations, like bar code scanners, voice
recognition systems, and complicated character recognition readers become more popular. Such
innovations can be utilized in an array of different business operations, including inventory
tracking, invoicing, and order placement. Additionally, as telecommunications systems improve
and advance, companies will be able benefit form networks which transmit data electronically.
Using such networks will facilitate the automatic input of more data into the computers, meaning
there will be less of a need for data entry keyers.
Beyond improvements in technology, employment of data entry and information processing
employees will be harmed by the trend of businesses contracting out their work. In some cases,
companies have completely eliminated in house positions and turned to temporary employment
services to fulfill their needs. A few bigger data entry and information processing companies are
employing more foreign workers outside the U.S. at cheaper rates. As international trade barriers
are reduced and telecommunications technology continues to advance, this shift of work will
result in limited demand for data entry keyers.
