Set against platform rates

On the table, the bottom of each row's hourly rate has a median of $25, and two of its rows are Mercor postings that had closed when we read them. Set beside the bureau's medians, it compares hourly figures and says nothing about how many hours a project offers, so it tells you more about an hour than about a year's income.
