I'd assume they would pay wages, minus the court pay. Given how badly jury duty pays, it seems a wasted effort.

  Given how badly jury duty pays, it seems a wasted effort. It seems to vary from county to county. When I served, we were given a pamphlet stating that the rate had recently been raised. I don't remember the exact figure, but it was well above minimum wage. Something like $80 for the first and last day, plus $120 for each day between, plus transportation costs. Far less than what I make as a super cool tech dev bro, but I can see it taking a lot of the pain away for the average person.
