An Analysis of the Labor Market for Uber’s Driver-Partners in the United States
Open accessAbstract
Uber, the ride-sharing company launched in 2010, has grown at an exponential rate.This paper provides the first comprehensive analysis of the labor market for Uber's driver-partners, based on both survey and administrative data.Drivers who partner with Uber appear to be attracted to the platform largely because of the flexibility it offers, the level of compensation, and the fact that earnings per hour do not vary much with the number of hours worked.Uber's driver-partners are more similar in terms of their age and education to the general workforce than to taxi drivers and chauffeurs.Most of Uber's driver-partners had full-or part-time employment prior to joining Uber, and many continued in those positions after starting to drive with the Uber platform, which makes the flexibility to set their own hours all the more valuable.Uber's driver-partners also often cited the desire to smooth fluctuations in their income as a reason for partnering with Uber.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
