Given how badly jury duty pays, it seems a wasted effort.

It seems to vary from county to county. When I served, we were given a pamphlet stating that the rate had recently been raised.

I don't remember the exact figure, but it was well above minimum wage. Something like $80 for the first and last day, plus $120 for each day between, plus transportation costs.

Far less than what I make as a super cool tech dev bro, but I can see it taking a lot of the pain away for the average person.

Was this recent? The highest daily rate there is $15 per hour.

I’m in New Zealand and that’s fractionally more than minimum wage.
