Uber and Lyft drivers in the US make a median profit of $3.37 per hour before taxes, according to a new report that suggests a majority of ride-share workers make below minimum wage and that many actually lose money.

Not everyone does it as a side job, and why does it matter if it's a side job for some people anyway? Obviously people working full time are gonna earn more, but that shouldn't mean you shouldn't earn a living wage relative to how much you work if you work half time.
