New York City will implement a minimum pay rate for food delivery workers on apps like Uber Eats and DoorDash—marking a first for the US. The new rule could nearly triple average earnings for app-based delivery workers in the coming years, per the AP. New York's more than 60,000 delivery workers currently make an average of $7.09 an hour, according to the city. But on July 12, an increased pay rate of $17.96 an hour will take effect—and that minimum wage is set to rise to $19.96 by April 2025. For years following, the minimum pay rate will be adjusted annually for inflation.
