Across 287 verified listings, the median is $16/hour (about $33,280/year at full time). The bottom 25% earn $14/hr; the top 25% earn $22/hr.
Most cushy WFH roles pay the same nationally regardless of where the worker lives. A small minority of employers (mostly tech and high-cost-of-living based) adjust by metro — those rates are reflected in our top-paying-cities table above.
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.
