"The TLC's proposed policy calls for a minimum pay standard of $17.22 per hour, the independent contractor equivalent of $15 per hour plus paid time off. The pay standard would be the first in the U.S. to apply to independent contractors. The TLC policy would increase driver pay for 85 percent of the drivers currently paid below the $17.22 standard. These drivers would receive an additional $6,345 per year. The net (after-expense) pay increase among these drivers would average 22.5 percent."

New research by the McKinsey Global institute suggests that roughly 15% of the global workforce could be displaced by 2030 in a midpoint scenario, but that the jobs likely created will make up for those lost. There is an important proviso: that economies sustain high economic growth and dynamism, coupled with strong trends that will drive demand for work. Even so, between 75 million to 375 million people globally may need to switch occupational categories by 2030, depending on how quickly automation is adopted."
