SAN FRANCISCO, June 21, 2022 (Newswire.com) - Instawork, the leading platform for connecting businesses with skilled workers, announced today the platform's availability to hourly workers in the Atlanta area looking to earn higher wages during a time when inflation is stressing household budgets. 

In Atlanta, the average hourly pay rate on the Instawork platform is $17.63, more than double the state's minimum wage of $7.25. This year, Atlanta was ranked the fourth worst city in the United States to live in while earning minimum wage.
