I'm sure I am making an incorrect inference, but I'm probably not alone. Average work term payment = $5K, average work term = 8 weeks = Below minimum wage.

- edouard-harris 8y agoThanks for flagging! Embarrassingly I reread this stat and realized that (1) it's way out of date and the true number is higher, and (2) it refers to part-time work (20 hrs / week) but we don't actually say that anywhere. We've never had a work term work out to less than $25 / hour, except possibly in geographies like India where cost of living in USD is very low. This is below market, but it's only for the work term before getting hired. Will update this with the most recent stats and clarify part-time status. Thanks again for catching this!
