Facebook raising pay and support services for thousands of contractors and content moderators

Facebook says it will raise pay for workers in acknowledgment of higher living costs in many U.S. cities. By Rachel Siegel Rachel Siegel National business reporter Email Bio Follow May 13 at 2:57 PM Facebook on Monday announced pay raises for thousands of contract workers, as well as support services for content moderators, less than one week after The Post detailed grievances from workers who say they are treated as second-class citizens at the tech giant.

“Content review at our size can be challenging and we know we have more work to do,” Facebook’s Janelle Gale, vice president of human resources, and Arun Chandra, vice president of scaled operations, said in a statement. “We’re committed to supporting our content reviewers in a way that puts their well-being first and we will continue to share steps forward on this important topic.”

Content reviewers in the Bay Area, New York City and Washington will see an even higher pay boost, to at least $22 per hour. Seattle reviewers will get $20 per hour while workers in other U.S. cities will get $18 per hour. Tech giants don’t include moderators or contractors such as bus drivers and cafeteria workers in their official head count of full-time employees, which for Facebook stood at 37,700 worldwide at the end of March. By some estimates, contractors make up at least 40 percent of the workforce at large Silicon Valley companies like Facebook and Google.

Raising worker's pay is always a good thing. Good for Facebook for doing it. Now we need other companies to do the same thing.😁

Sounds like another liberal scheme.

facebook is trying to BUY them

MAGA caused this !! MAGA 2020 !!
