Does answering spam and telemarketer calls help keep and create jobs?

Yes and no.

Yes, the callers get paid, something close to minimum wage. In some cases that plus some commission for the sales that they make.

But..

It has large employee turnover – read this because it’s frustrating and hard to be successful.

I’ve been getting about ten spoof calls a day; they are evenly split between silent and recordings. The only thing being employed is the computer placing the robo-call.
