In the absence of federal support programs, are people who would drive for Uber or any of these gig-type apps better or worse off with the opportunity to earn $4.40/hr?

If you raise that wage, most likely​ the business model ceases to be worthwhile for Uber, so the job goes away. I don't think that means it is replaced with something better.
