Independent Sector | Value of Volunteer Time

The Independent Sector estimates that the dollar value of volunteer time is $17.55 per hour for 2004. I think it's amazing how much higher this is than the U.S. minimum wage. Chip Watkins pointed out to me that the methodology used by IS is flawed because it doesn't take into account what it is that volunteers actually do and what the market value of that work might be. It's merely based on an average wage for nonfarm labor. I'm disappointed. Posted: 4/29/05; 5:58:04 PM #
