Admin & clerical jobs in Georgia

Common questions about admin & clerical jobs in Georgia

• How much do remote admin & clerical jobs in Georgia pay?

  Verified listings in this category pay a median of $19/hour, ranging from $15 to $28/hour. Most fully remote roles pay the same nationally regardless of where you live.

• Are these jobs only for residents of Georgia?

  Most are open to anyone in the United States. We surface Georgia explicitly when employers list it as a preferred or eligible location.

• Do I need to live in Georgia to apply?

  No — most cushy WFH listings are open to all 50 states. Listings tagged "Georgia" usually mean the employer prefers Georgia residents (sometimes for tax/payroll reasons) but will still hire from neighboring states. Check each posting.

• What does a remote admin assistant actually do?

  Schedules meetings, prepares and formats documents, coordinates with vendors, manages travel bookings, handles light bookkeeping (expense reports, invoice tracking), and supports HR onboarding. Tools are typically Microsoft 365 (Outlook, Word, Excel, Teams) or Google Workspace, plus a project tool like Asana or Monday. Most days are 60–70% async work, 30–40% scheduled calls.

• Do federal admin jobs require security clearance?

  Some do — Public Trust is the most common requirement and takes 4–8 weeks after offer. Secret clearance takes 3–6 months. Many federal entry-level admin roles (GS-5, GS-6) require only Public Trust, which most US citizens with a clean background qualify for. Listings on USAJobs make clearance requirements explicit.
