haha, that is "suggested" I believe. There is no set pay rate.

It's not "suggested" by anyone other than some misinformed turkers who want to perpetuate that.

 

[C to the J]

Lots of turkers say no less than 10 cents a minute. 10 cents * 60 minutes = 600 cents / 100 = $6 per hour

I think too many requesters (and maybe turkers) see this as the Mturk minimum wage when it's really more of a "Oh god I have nothing in the house to eat and the rent is due in 2 days" wage.

Even if it's a stupid one.

Well I will take it, if nothing else is available, hopefully they don't find out about all those requesters that want to pay you a dollar an hour. Of course all they have to do is look at page one on the Mturk hit page.

Mturk is about as close to a free market as we've seen yet... not that it comes all that close... but the best way to control the wage is to refuse to do work en masse. Unionizing turkers is highly unlikely... that would be like trying to herd meth addicted teleporting cats with adhd. The best we can hope for is to be vocal when the conversation comes up.

And you lived in a place where people pump your gas for you. What kinda monster are you?

Maybe now is a good time to drop a reminder about this:

Should online labor platforms have minimum wages? What should they be? How should they be enforced? Should workers on the same platform in different countries have different minimum wages? Are different minimum wage schemes needed for different kinds of platforms?

The German Metalworkers’ Union (IG Metall) and the European Trade Union Institute (ETUI) invite comments on the topic of minimum wages on online labor platforms from any interested parties, especially workers, clients, platform operators, researchers, journalists, trade unionists, and policy makers. The comments will be circulated among workers, clients, platform operators, trade unionists, and policy makers. The goal of the project is to develop and disseminate a nuanced view of the applicability of minimum wages in the effort to ensure fair working conditions in online labor platforms.

Making the dreaded :spaz: Trip Into Town tomorrow . I love getting there and actually seeing some different people, but I always spend ... so ...much ... frigging "monies." Gotta go, tho, 'cause I need two new tires for the truck. And food. So I won't be working tomorrow!!! You will all make so much more money. .... uhhhh, nah.

Anyway, the best luck to all of you!!!!

Nah. I live in NYC now. I traded my gas pumping for a tiny apartment. and a transit pass.

Sometimes I'll just google "Inquisit" to see if there are any up I can do for free.
