How many WPM do employers consider good?

65 seems about average.
last time I had to take a type test, I think I was at 80 wpm (though it varies depending on if it's dictation, copying, or typing from your head).
for everyone asking zomg what requires typing speed... I had to take the test (along with a couple others testing general MS office abilities) when registering with a temp agency back in like 1999-2000.
sitting at a desk in an air conditioned office all day doing data entry or secretarial/receptionist work beat working retail or fast food any day of the week.

Per Wikipedia it looks like > 90 is fast.
I could type 140+wpm until the keyboard fell apart. I get comments on my typing speed all the time, but almost no one believes me when I tell them.
In my opinion, 80+ would be good. The real key is whether or not you can touch type. If you're a hunt-and-pecker or if you have to keep looking at the keyboard you're missing a lot of the value. You're best when you're not even thinking that you're typing, but that doesn't necessarily translate to WPM.
