NYC food-delivery workers losing jobs after minimum wage hike — even as menu prices soar: report
New York City’s minimum-wage hike has boosted pay for food-delivery workers who have managed to hang onto their jobs, but thousands have lost work — even as the price to get a meal delivered goes through the roof, according to a report by city officials.
A December law that hiked pay to nearly $20 an hour – which delivery apps including Doordash, Grubhub and Uber Eats had tried to block with a lawsuit last year – is boosting paychecks significantly, according to the report by the city’s Department of Consumer and Worker Protection.
