Uber, one of the reigning kings of transportation network companies (TNCs), was supposed to disrupt a lot of things, from the way we get to and fro to the way many of us work. But a new report says that second part simply isn’t happening.
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics released a report that says fewer people are working for themselves than they were a decade ago. That’s the reverse of what was supposed to be the Uber effect of a gig economy, in which people would pop from contracted job to contracted job-one of which was supposed to be driving for TNCs.
It also might mean TNCs don’t employ as many drivers as was once thought. Read the whole report here.
