Advertisement"Pay for gig drivers rarely exceeds the employee-equivalent local minimum wage," the authors wrote. While two-thirds of DoorDash drivers and just under half of Uber Eats drivers had their incomes adjusted, just 5% of Uber drivers did. The average Lyft, Uber Eats, and DoorDash driver had hourly earnings of $24, $18, and $14, respectively. Over the past year, several gig drivers have told BI that their gigs are less profitable than they used to be. For example, Uber and Lyft drivers have said the ride-hailing giants are taking a larger cut of rider fares.

The percentage of Black workers in the auto industry today is more than double their share of the workforce overall. But the decline in US auto jobs and the erosion of unions have hit Black workers hardest. Black workers are likelier to belong to unions, in any industry, compared to White and Hispanic workers. Black union workers earn on average 16.4% higher wages than non-union Black workers, and they are likelier to have health care and retirement benefits, studies show. Hard-won gains disappearSoon after Black auto workers broke into better paying jobs, the US auto industry began its long decline, decimating Black communities in particular.

Men die younger than women in the United States, on average. American women had a life expectancy of 79 years in 2021, compared with men's, which was only about 73, according to CDC data. "Across, basically, almost every major cause of death, men are more likely to die than women are." That means there are some steps we can take to work toward helping men live longer. Watch the video above to learn more about why men die younger on average than women and what we can do to change it.
☆ A quarter of Americans are expecting to delay their retirement due to rising consumer costs, according to a new study
  + stars: | 2022-10-13 | by ( Nathaniel Lee | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +2 min
And nearly a third of seniors say they either plan to work through the age of 70 or never retire, according to a study by BlackRock. "The United States is definitely facing a retirement crisis," said Nari Rhee, a director of the retirement security program at the UC Berkeley Labor Center. "If you're retired and on a fixed income, inflation really, really hurts," said Rhee. One million dollars in a retirement account just two years ago is worth about $120,000 less when adjusted for inflation, and now, with that financial backdrop, a quarter of Americans say that are expecting to delay their retirement due to rising consumer costs, according to a survey by BMO Harris Bank. Retirees like Juanita Dykes, a former factory worker living in Rural Retreat, Virginia, say more things are becoming impossible to afford.
