Earnings of delivery network company drivers in Seattle prior to App-Based Worker Minimum Payment Ordinance

Abstract

This paper uses data from January 2022 to determine the earnings of delivery network company drivers in Seattle prior to implementation of the city’s App-Based Worker Minimum Payment Ordinance, and to calculate what their earnings would have been had the policy been in place at that time, finding that earnings would have been below the city’s minimum wage.
