MTURK holiday schedule:
January - half sucks as its holiday recovery mode
February - short month and 3 day weekends
March - maybe the best month to turk
April - easter / spring break , slows down the pace
May - possibly a tie for best month to turk
June - summer / graduation / end of academic year, so it gets slow
July - summer and holidays = slow
August - you guessed it, slow.
September - things pick up to almost normal, but a little slow because of labor day
October - decent
November - everything is great until the last 10 days
December - after 2 weeks it slows to a crawl
its really just easier to count when it isn't slow.
