Recent data from Seattle indicates that food delivery drivers are experiencing higher hourly earnings following the city's implementation of a new 'minimum-pay' law. However, this increase in wages has been accompanied by a decrease in customer demand. The law, which applies only to active time, mandates that app companies must pay delivery drivers at least 44 cents per minute. Seattle City Council President Sara Nelson has expressed concern over the potential fallout from these changes in the food delivery sector. The situation highlights a significant shift in the gig economy, prompting discussions on the sustainability and implications of such wage controls.
