$3.37.*
That's the meager median wage Uber and Lyft drivers make per hour, according to a paper (https://mashable.com/2018/03/02/uber-lyft-drivers-make-below-minimum-wage/?utm_campaign&utm_context=textlink&utm_medium=rss&utm_source) published by MIT's Center for Energy and Environmental Policy Research that surveyed over 1,000 drivers in the United States.*
The study made headlines this week, revealing that the cost of insurance, fuel, and car maintenance all played a major impact on why those who drive for ride-share companies do not meet minimum wage.*
Despite the compelling findings, Uber's CEO Dara Khosrowshahi is refuting the study's results himself, on Twitter of all places.
