I guess what makes driving different than other low-wage jobs is that it’s a relatively easy job to obtain if you already have the vehicle: you don’t have to do a bunch of interviews, you don’t need a huge amount of ability, you can start making money pretty much immediately. Having a reliable income can be important (as opposed to jobs that limit your hours, etc.). Of course, it’s obviously a terrible wage. Anecdotally, the drivers I’ve encountered were all doing it for extra side income and not as a main job.
