"Amazon Mechanical Turk Pays Less Than 40% of US Minimum Wage, Research Suggests" [2021]
"The results of a study by researchers in the US and Mexico suggest that crowdsourced workers in the Amazon Mechanical Turk marketplace, with a 75% majority based in the United States, are earning as little as a median $2.83 per hour – about 39.5% of the mandated federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour, since the remote workers spend a third of their working time scanning lists of requests for work, managing payments, and performing other kinds of ‘invisible labor’.
The findings come in the wake of a recent report from the University of Massachusetts Amherst, which criticized the low level of pay and benefits involved in being a ‘turker’, and which characterizes the AMT ecostructure effectively as a low-quality sweatshop for under-funded academic researchers."
