Lyft and Uber say they will leave Minneapolis if the mayor signs a minimum wage bill for drivers::Lyft and Uber threatened to stop doing business in Minneapolis after the city council adopted a new rule Thursday that would set a minimum wage for rideshare drivers.
Uber drivers don’t make less money than taxi drivers. On average, they make about the same.
Uhh, Uber drivers are definitely poor… It’s just that taxi drivers are also poor…
Plus, those figures are just averages. Did they take the median or the mean? Are the taxi drivers numbers more of a bell curve with everyone making similar amounts while the Uber drivers are either doing well or not doing well at all? My total guess based on no data whatsoever is yes but I’d be interested in seeing the data if you have it. MLMs use this same trick when they try to convince you their businesses are viable
It’s weird that you think someone making more than almost 40% of the country is “poor”
Yup. Alot of poor people in this country… It’s been getting worse.
Too bad you don’t know how those averages were calculated. Would have been interesting
A) it’s fun how I can tell you’re from a wealthy family
B) all averages are calculated the same way. That’s what “average” means.
Yes. The use of the mean as the average is why you can’t tell without looking at the data set if the average of $500 is 1000 people all making around $500 or 500 people making near nothing while the other 500 are making close to $1000 or 750 are making near nothing and 250 making close to $2000, etc…
In this case the mode gives you a more relevant data set. That’s probably not what they’re using though
