​​🚖Half Uber Drivers Don't Make More $10 an Hour After Vehicle Expenses According to a new study by Ridester, the median hourly pay with tip for #Uber drivers in the U.S. is $14.73. That figure includes tips but doesn’t account for expenses like insurance, gas and car depreciation incurred while working. Using Ridester’s low-end estimate of $5 per hour in vehicle costs, drivers would bring in $9.73 per hour and potentially much less. That implies a driver working 40 hours per week would make an annual salary of almost $31,000 before vehicle expenses, and about $20,000 after expenses (but still before taxes). That’s below the poverty threshold for a family of three. It’s also a far cry from the $70,000 to $90,000 Uber once claimed its drivers made in major markets. 🚀@PerspectiveIX via Recode.
