As I've mentioned earlier, for the past couple of years, I've been an election poll worker in my district. For those who may not be aware of the details, this isn't a volunteer position. There is a time commitment - training and, obviously, sitting around all day at the polls - so, in addition to the dubious pleasure of acting as a civil servant for a day, there is also an element of purely financial remuneration involved.
I'm both unsurprised and amused to note that, given the amount of time I spent at the polls this year, said compensation in my county ends up being just slightly less than the Federal minimum wage.
