The magazine used Mechanical Turk, a website run by Amazon.com that acts as a marketplace for freelance work. As Newsweek described their method: [W]e posted simple, hourlong jobs (listening to audio recordings and counting instances of a specific keyword) and continually lowered our offer until we found the absolute bottom price that multiple people would accept, and then complete the task. The results? No one in Italy, the Netherlands, or Egypt would accept less than $5 for an hour of work. In Germany it was $3, in Australia and Britain $2, and in Canada $1.25. Americans accepted by far the lowest figure: just 25 cents. [link to news.yahoo.com] study is flawed, people will do this because in their spare time, and what the hell. Try to get people to work 25 cents as a way to make a living, and lets see how many Americans will do this. Bunch of bullshit |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 1368908 United States06/21/2011 12:53 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This is a veiled warning about Revelation 6:6, No one today will work for that much unless they were in a slave labor camp or in a disaster zone . Cause this amounts to 2.00 a days work, What can you buy with two dollars? A loaf of bread, thats what Revelation 6:6 Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, "A quart of wheat for a day's wages, and three quarts of barley for a day's wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine!" |

Bunch of bullshit that would be pretty awesome the value of all useless material shit would drop like a rock . everyone would move to a detroit 1 dollar former crack house , not pay taxes and just buy a new house every two years. imagine the look on boomer faces when it dawned on them , that their inestments had lost over 99 % of the value |
