Data Entry Jobs in Bankstown


	Data Entry Jobs in Bankstown A large portion of the population of Sydney’s south western suburbs is computer literate and eager to make their mark on the world of online employment. There are more women employed in data entry jobs in Bankstown than anywhere else in the English speaking world. Given the suburb’s diverse mix of cultures and education levels, this is a real bonus for the area. The career choices available for job seekers from all over the district are many and varied. Back in the early 1950s boatloads of typists were brought to Bankstown to work in data entry jobs. Local companies were experiencing boom periods in sales but could not maintain the level of administrative prowess required to sustain protracted growth. In some instances these workers were fed stale crackers and dirty water, and were accommodated in abandoned warehouses off Canterbury road. Apart from typing, their duties included filing, stapling, paper clipping and sheep husbandry. Many of these employees were reunited with their families in the late 1970s but never fully regained their own self-respect. “We were lured into these boats with promises of a better lifestyle and high paying data entry jobs. In Bankstown we found no such paradise. The working areas were no bigger than the average shoe box and in summer temperatures reached uncomfortable levels. We were forced to undertake the tasks the rest of the workforce refused to do. Oh well, you win some, you lose some!”
