New York City Mayor Eric Adams, along with Commissioner Mayuga, announced an increase in the minimum wage for app-based restaurant delivery workers from $18 to nearly $20 per hour, specifically setting the new rate at $19.56 before tips. This adjustment, the first of its kind to be revisited annually for inflation, marks a significant improvement from a previous rate of $5.39 per hour. The change, applicable to workers for apps like Uber Eats, Grubhub, and Doordash, represents an estimated annual income boost of nearly $850 million for the workforce. Despite the wage increase, there are concerns about the difficulty of tipping through these apps, potentially affecting overall earnings.
