摘要

工作的性质正在发生变化。在新兴的零工经济中,随着劳动力越来越多地转向临时工,了解更广泛的经济背景对于有效地与临时劳动力接触至关重要。众包代表了这种流动的、自由放任的、随需应变的劳动力的早期表现。这项工作分析了对美国亚马逊土耳其机械公司工人进行的四次大规模调查的结果,这些调查记录了六年的时间,为国家统计数据提供了可比的衡量标准。我们的研究结果表明,尽管失业率远高于全国水平,但众包工作者在就业状况和家庭收入方面都看到了积极的变化。我们最近的调查表明,全职的众工越来越少,同时估计的贫困水平下降到低于国家数据。这些趋势表明劳动力越来越灵活,能够在快速变化的全国劳动力市场中最大化他们的机会,这可能对现有的众工行为模式产生重大影响。

Crowdworker Economics in the Gig Economy
The nature of work is changing. As labor increasingly trends to casual work in the emerging gig economy, understanding the broader economic context is crucial to effective engagement with a contingent workforce. Crowdsourcing represents an early manifestation of this fluid, laisser-faire, on-demand workforce. This work analyzes the results of four large-scale surveys of US-based Amazon Mechanical Turk workers recorded over a six-year period, providing comparable measures to national statistics. Our results show that despite unemployment far higher than national levels, crowdworkers are seeing positive shifts in employment status and household income. Our most recent surveys indicate a trend away from full-time-equivalent crowdwork, coupled with a reduction in estimated poverty levels to below national figures. These trends are indicative of an increasingly flexible workforce, able to maximize their opportunities in a rapidly changing national labor market, which may have material impacts on existing models of crowdworker behavior.
