Portfolio Pulse from Shivani Kumaresan

The companies can either pay a straightforward hourly rate or opt for a per-delivery payment structure. The new legislation is set to introduce a second wage increment, bringing the hourly rate close to $20 by April 2025. Approximately 60,000 delivery workers in New York currently earn around $11 an hour post tips and expenses.
