'Lowest quarter' is a huge range. I don't think it's scandalous that Facebook pays it's lowest skilled workers in the lowest quarter of wages.
If I looked at actual pay and actual expenses I might agree, but lowest quarter isn't a good argument to make.
- Sanddancer 11y agoThe links have the pay and average expenses in them. Average pay for a studio is $1200/month, way out of the range a facebook contractor could afford.
- johnbabboozle 11y agoYeah but your headline was 'lowest quarter' as if that said it all. It's like those people who say it's a scandal that half the population earn below the average wage. Why would you expect someone who earns below average to be able to afford an average apartment? Do you know what average means and how averages work?
- Sanddancer 11y agoI expect them to be able to afford /an/ apartment, which they cannot. Do a search on craigslist for apartments under $833, which is a third of their monthly income, and tell me how many apartments you see. Facebook's wage means their contractors are still essentially in poverty.
