Methodology

We searched for job postings containing the word 'Administrative' in the job title located within 50 kilometers of major cities in British Columbia, Canada. We further filtered these down to only the positions that contained the words 'keyboarding', 'typing' or 'words per minute' in the job description.

Over 600 jobs were collected on Monday, April 30th 2018.

From here, we used a form of machine learning called Natural Language Processing to learn and extract the sentences most likely to be asking for keyboarding skills.

Finally, we used a similar technique to extract the keyboarding speeds, in words per minute, required by these employers.
