In London for uber x is around £15 and the cost of living is 3 times higher....

£12 an hour in Manchester is optimistic. More like £10 per hour takings after Uber deduct their 25%. Leeds will be very similar. If you hire a car that Uber recommends, then 40 hours x £10 = £400. - £180 car rental - £50 fuel - £20 other costs = Take home £150 For some reason, potential new drivers do not believe these figures. But it is a reality. People do not believe a driver can earn so little. They underestimate how bad the job market is for unskilled, low skilled, and even skilled people. How people are desperate to take any work available. Uber and other companies are fully exploiting the situation.

What about Amazon Flex it's quite similar to uber in the sense you can pick and choose when to work
