Draconian Peek Into The Future Of Employment - The Ugly

[videopro]

Although a conceptual enterprise at the present time, this freelance work offer/exchange website parts the veil surrounding the future of employment. In a world where unlimited demand for work meets shockingly few opportunities to achieve survivable subsistence, this example of what is occurring right now should give one an enormous wakeup call of a lifetime.

The range for compensation averages between .01 (one cent) to a general upper limit of $3.00 for many hours of necessary work.

One example:

Description: Grade/review a complete audio transcription
Time Allotted: 3 days 18 hours
Reward: $0.07

Although the work may be accomplished in a matter of approximately an hour by a well experienced transcriptionist, the compensation is a mere seven cents for an hour of professional work.

A horrendous Futureshock scenario made possible by the promises of the technological revolution turned destructive upon it's own creators.
