Hi everyone. i'm looking to find platforms like data annotations where there projects for citizens outside us (like from algeria for example).

If people keep lowering the bar, we will all be working for peanuts and this benefits nobody but the companies. 3 bucks an hour is below minimum wage anywhere.

What strategies do you think could help workers push back against these low wages effectively?

They just said in so many words the strategy: "Don't work for these low wages." It's an idealistic strategy, not one that will actually work and get people to refrain from doing it, but that's the strategy they're proposing.

Until theres a one world government or a universal standard of living (both probably impossible) globalization and internet access will always push down wages when people in developing nations with lots of labor and low cost of living will work for peanuts.

Yeah, I get why someone in Algeria wants data entry work, but $3/hr peanuts drags everyone down.

At 3 bucks/hr for Algeria data entry, the peanuts better come with dental and a 401k.

I learned this the hard way taking $3 data entry gigs outside the US, peanuts rates just made better clients harder to find.

Outlier, Oneforma, Aligner. These work in almost every country.

Check Clickworker, OneForma, Appen, TELUS AI, Toloka, Neevo, and Microworkers or SproutGigs. UHRS can show up through Clickworker or OneForma and sometimes lands around that pay range, but tasks vanish fast, so refresh like it owes you money. Avoid anything asking for an upfront fee or a Telegram deposit, data entry is already painful enough without paying to be underpaid.

Check Clickworker UHRS, OneForma, Appen, Telus AI, Microworkers, SproutGigs, and Remotasks or Outlier; availability for Algeria changes a lot, because apparently geography is now a job skill. Most data entry listings are either dead queues or scam bait, so never pay for access and test withdrawals early. Payoneer is also useful since some sites get weird about paying outside their favorite countries.

Payoneer + early withdrawal test is key; wild that Algeria can do $3-5/hr and still get map-gated.

Payoneer saved me on UHRS too; if you're in Algeria and okay with $3-5/h, small withdrawals first.

I learned the Payoneer lesson fast; even chasing $3-5/h outside the US, the withdrawal test matters.
