Would you work at the rate of $0.33 per hour?

Such situation is not limited to filipinos but indians, chinese, pakistanis and african people.

Yes, it's disgusting, but if the job offered is just within the Philippine premises, we couldn't blame people from accepting the job since its better than nothing at all. The majority of people here in the Philippines are in the survival mode i guess and $.33 if converted into pesos would be at most around 120.00Php, some undergrads would bite and rise to the occasion for experiences purposes but if you are a family man then its working below the belt. Maybe the government has to do something about it. Perhaps our new elected president is basically looking to solve this crisis ones and for all. We can't blame the people at all, we have to blame those employers offering such taking advantage of the situations.

I can't definite the rate of the kind of work, I don't calculate how many rates work for an hour?

That is so disgusting, hopefully no one would grab that job so that they will realize that filipinos are not that foolish to just get it. They are really taking so much advantage.

Depends on type of work and also the availability of the time While, in fact, if we're talking about online earning, lots of people don't even earn that amount of money within a day.

That is really a very low rate but for someone who is just starting out and want to build a good profile in Odesk, then that rate is considered. I also signed up for Odesk but I haven't got any projects yet so I just put 1$ per hour on my rate. I know I don't deserve that amount because I type fast and I have some skills in writing but I have to admit, I can't get any projects unless my profile shows that I already finished some projects and I got good feedback from clients. So if 1$ is kind of low for me, then it's okay just for the time that I'm still starting.

that is a really low amount of money.. it is shocking to see how the employers are treating their workers... $0.33 per hour is nothing in current world.. they are taking advanteges of the workers and getting rich.. employers should be more reasonalbel than this.. they can just capitalize on these people for their gain...

Hello Joram, Of course not, even online earning is better then that. You can make even 1 dollar with some inspiration in one hour on mylot, and you choose how you post, you are not blocked by a certain hour schedule. Oh, and did I mention that you can post while siting in bed with your laptop in your lap, your woman next to you and listening to good music in the mean time.

Desk jobs are hard to get at the beginning if you font have any experience. I heard one guy finally got a job after a year and he practically worked for free. Everyone knows the less a employer has to spend the more likely they will hire the person.

no, that's pittance pay and outright slavery... sorry!

yes, it's really degrading. I tried too on odesk but there was no response. Thus I kept my lotas my primary. There are other sites which could better pay us. there's peoplestring and rewardstring too

I am definitely not sold with that kind of rate, it's disgusting, but if the job offered is just within the Philippine premises, we couldn't blame people from accepting the job since its better than nothing at all. The majority of people here in the Philippines are in the survival mode i guess and $.33 if converted into pesos would be at most around 120.00Php, some undergrads would bite and rise to the occasion for experiences purposes but if you are a family man then its working below the belt. Maybe the government has to do something about it. Perhaps our new elected president is basically looking to solve this crisis ones and for all. We can't blame the people at all, we have to blame those employers offering such taking advantage of the situations.

That is such as tiny amount. I wouldn't waste my time on that, you're right people are being taken advantage of and there should have been some rules to prevent such a thing from happening.

I won't. The lowest rate I have in contract now is $0.60/hr. The job is data entry and is almost copy-pasting. It was my first hourly job in odesk and the longest contract I've ever been. Unfortunately, I don't prioritize it because I have other contracts too that pays more than that. But it serves as my back up job when other jobs had ended so I could still earn money. Whenever I apply for a job, there are even contractors who rates themselves for $0.10.

I am from the Philippines. And I also work in odesk. It is a sad reality that there are Filipinos who are even willing to accept such amount. I guess they were not able to calculate their expense over their income. They thought that they can get a profit out of it because as far as I know, it is not break even. Some employers just take advantage of others desperate acts.

.33 cents an hour is literally nothing. However, it also depends on the standard of living in the Phillippines (which I know nothing about). What does .33 cents get you? Is it similar to the US? I feel sort of robbed by InboxDollars and other survey sites that are paying 25 cents to 50 cents for a lengthy survey. I don't like that idea at all - because you know that THEY are profiting off of our hard work. That's why I just dont' do it. I am not that desperate, i guess.

That's just the reality. But just look at the bright side, a little earning is better than no earnings at all. Some employers can take advantage of them but this should not discourage those employed to give just a mediocre work but instead they should try to give their best and hone whatever knowledge they can get. In due time they will be good enough to demand a better pay for their work.

I wonder how much most of the people here make in a day?

No, never. And I don't think anyone should, really. But if people want to do it, it is up to them.

really the work rate is very less. People should think before setting their rate of payment. $0.33 is not up to the mark to earn for a hard work.
