I've chatted with a few of them when they seem to be free and open to chats, not busy. They make $15/hour. And they deliver about 100 newspapers in an hour. Apparently the recruiters prefer women who have been athletes in school. Cos the delivery is a bit of a workout for sure.

Cos each woman (very occasionally a man) is dropped off with a stack of papers that they have to deliver in tall Manhattan buildings using elevators and be back in time before the car circles around. Observing these mechanisms that run NYC is so fascinating!
