That's a big if. For jobs like being an Uber driver, the consensus seems to be that you get less money.

- finiteseries 5y agoThere’s a lot of overhead to being an independent contractor period, but they’re definitely not all manual labor who are on the hook for their equipment’s gas, insurance, maintenance, fees etc in “designed markets”
- mgkimsal 5y agoSure, but that's ... it seems to me many taxi folks were already 'independent' in some way beforehand (perhaps not all?). The payment model for that seems somewhat opaque anyway - you've got mileage/depreciation on a vehicle, fuel, no hourly base pay to start with (IIRC). For companies that employed an accountant onsite for, say, $70k/year, if they want to pay that accountant direct, say, $90k directly... fine.
