Cushy WFH data entry roles open to applicants based in Illinois.
Most cushy data entry jobs are fully remote and US-eligible, so applicants in Illinois qualify for the same listings as anywhere else in the country. We surface listings here that specifically prefer or list Illinois in their applicant criteria, plus the broader US-remote pool. Illinois residents have access to roughly the same applicant pool as the rest of the US — the difference is in state labor laws (pay frequency, sick leave, classification rules) noted below.

Verified listings in this category pay a median of $16/hour, ranging from $14 to $22/hour. Most fully remote roles pay the same nationally regardless of where you live.
Most are open to anyone in the United States. We surface Illinois explicitly when employers list it as a preferred or eligible location.
No — most cushy WFH listings are open to all 50 states. Listings tagged "Illinois" usually mean the employer prefers Illinois residents (sometimes for tax/payroll reasons) but will still hire from neighboring states. Check each posting.
Most listings on the open internet are scams. Legitimate data entry jobs exist at named employers like Conduent, Smart Crowd (Lionbridge), and Robert Half. Avoid any listing that mentions a "starter kit," "training fee," or earnings guarantees.
Verified data entry listings on CushyJobs pay $14–$22/hour, with a median of $16/hour. Anything advertising "$30/hour from home, no experience needed!" for data entry is almost certainly a scam.
