⢠Market Wagon provides a guaranteed income alternative to app-based gigs with farm-to-table deliveries
⢠Mo finds Uber Eats profitable in her area with high-paying quests despite GPS navigation issues
⢠Waymo charges about $10 more per ride than Uber/Lyft but customers still pay for the novelty of driverless cars
⢠A DoorDash driver with mobility issues went viral, resulting in a GoFundMe raising over $21,000
⢠50% of DoorDash drivers are women, challenging common assumptions about delivery worker demographics
⢠Only 8% of gig workers operate full-time, while 92% use platforms as supplementary income
⢠Amazon Flex and Roadie offer alternative high-paying opportunities for those willing to strategize for surge pricing
