That's what the law regulates.

It regulates base pay per delivery.

But when you look at total earnings over the course of a month or a day, that is summing up not just the base pay for one trip, it's the base pay across all of your trips.

And the tips on top of that as well.

And we saw two things happening at the same time as that pay rate going up, is that drivers were doing 20 to 30% less delivery tasks per month or per day even.

And-

You might think, well, maybe they're quitting earlier.

Maybe they don't have to work as long or as hard to make the same amount of money.

But you'd think that with a minimum wage, the point is for people to earn more.

And as we dug into the data, it doesn't look like people were just choosing to stop.

We're happy with their earnings level if we're just stopping driving earlier.

It looks like they're spending...

longer between deliveries, driving further to find the next order.

I actually signed up for DoorDash and Uber to see what it feels like.

And the way that it usually works is that you're in a big restaurant, buzzy district.

You get an order request.

You drive it out to kind of a far outlying neighborhood that's pretty residential.

And at the end of that, then you need to get your next task.

If you just hang around there, there's no restaurants near there.

So it's going to take a long time to get an order.
