Okay, but presumably Durkosh, an Uber representative, is reporting data, not anecdotes, when she says that the average is $26/hour, right? Are you suggesting that she's underreporting the true average, or that she doesn't know what the average amount they pay their drivers is?
No, I'm suggesting that it is very reasonable that this is the true average. May not be the true median, though, given the 80-20 principle and uneven distribution of skill.
Cool. Sorry if I was confrontational -- the article irritated me on the grounds of sloppy journalism and wide-eyed ingenuousness, and I took it out on you.
no worries, I didn't take your comments to be confrontational at all; and the article irritated me too, which is why I'm here offering better information!
