> Uber and Lyft commissioned their own study from Cornell University showing that the typical driver earned $23 per hour in Seattle after expenses.
> Kevin Schofield of SCC Insight analyzed both studies last month and found that they “skew their analysis and recommendations in the direction that favors the one who commissioned their study.”
This is such a blatantly bad framing of the article they cite:

The skew in question is around Parrot & Reich's study, which prioritizes full-time drivers (and doesn't include tips, if I read correctly), vs. the Cornell study with Uber/Lyft which includes all drivers and includes tips.
