Job Offer 10 cents per hour
A US job that pays just 10 cents an hour in 2009 seems unbelievable, right? But there are many freelance positions offered on the site ODesk.com that seek to pay only cents to a hour per hour or that amount for a 500 word article. The following is a real post for a job with a location in NJ -- not some third world country.
This job received over a dozen applicants! However, the applicants themselves all have foreign sound names.
Top quality at low rates. How low? Well, this job post drew 41 applicants in various price points. But only 4 were granted interviews. Their average rate was $1.65/hr.
I wouldn't even dream of paying a kid for babysitting that little. But that is what is offered to adults with experience and skills in this market.
