I've seen requirements from 35 wpm to 70 wpm (from basic secretary to legal secretary or medical transcriptionist). I'm up around 100 wpm, so no biggie for me...although my hands have taken a beating over the years.

I can type about 65 - 70 words per minute (WPM), which is about the speed your boss would be talking, if you need to take a letter.
Practice makes perfect!

Different employers have different criteria, but generally it's a least 60 wpm accurately. Depending on the profession, they may want a faster speed.

depends on the job. I don't need to type fast, just accurate.
I think the last time I was scored, it was about 35 wpm.. but that was in HS over 30 years ago.

The "average" speed can be as low as 40. 55 is good. Accuracy is important, if you know it.

I'm about 65, but if you reach around 55, you're good. Just keep practicing.

mine is about 45-50 WPM. I think that's good and fast enough.
