If lower, which I'm certain it is due to cuts, by what percentage?
Are your gross earnings higher or lower since you started driving?

I used to gross $50 an hour in 2018, in 2019 I'm lucky to break $30 with everything I know. I guess Uber is lying, the lower the rates, the busier we are and the driver making more is a farce.
Here's my earnings from April 2018 compared to April 2019 in Los Angeles.![]()
holy s**t that is nuts! I guess you did half as many trips so roughly your pay was cut in half? insane.
Numbers don't lie, this April our rates in Los Angeles were cut to 60/21. April 2018 close to 50 bucks an hour, April 2019 roughly $35 an hour. Totals are less because I drove less, extrapolate to the same 44 hours, I would have only grossed about 1600 dollars, about 25% less.
