Dishwasher — ONET Occupation Study at Mercor

Dishwasher Occupation Study | $16/hr | Remote (U.S. Only)

Mercor is seeking experienced dishwashers to participate in a paid, one-time online study aimed at improving the U.S. government's O*NET occupational framework. Your real-world expertise will help shape how the dishwasher role is officially described for the entire country.

About the Study

Mercor is building a more accurate version of O*NET — the federal framework used to describe occupations and their associated tasks. We're gathering direct input from working professionals to ensure the dishwasher role (SOC 35-9021.00) is represented accurately.

What You'll Do

• Complete a one-time online survey or interview about your daily work experience as a dishwasher — takes up to 30 minutes.
• An optional follow-up survey, task, or short interview may be offered afterward and would be compensated separately.

Who We're Looking For

• 4+ years of experience working specifically as a dishwasher.
• Currently working in the role, or have worked in it within the last 12 months.
• Direct, hands-on knowledge of daily kitchen tasks, equipment, and workflow.
• U.S.-based applicants only.

Not Eligible

• Cooks or food preparation workers whose primary role involves preparing food (SOC 35-2014.00, 35-2021.00).
• Servers, hosts, or general front-of-house staff.
• Kitchen or restaurant managers.
