I was summoned for a month-long duty but was never put on a jury in Iowa and when summoned for duty in Mississippi I explained to the judge that I had no other significant sources of income and it would impoverish me as a single person. Those were both over 15 years ago.
Our terms were one week, and I was fortunate enough to be selected for a jury each time. Even got to be foreman twice; once by luck of the draw (assigned by the judge to whoever was in chair #1) and once by election, judge said pick someone. The cases were interesting, and twice I was working nights, so no lost income. The other two times I had started my real estate career so I had the flexibility to set my my own schedule.
