> How many jobs have Uber and Amazon destroyed? How many have Uber destroyed? For Amazon the claim is more obvious - picking up the "killing local business" and "killing US suppliers" torches from Walmart before them - but I would be a bit suprised if there were any cities where there were fewer transportation drivers now than pre-Uber in the US. Taxis in the vast majority of the country were pretty few and far-between. They are very different types of tech company; not as completely different as something like SaaS with no cost of physical goods at all, but Uber (while hardly an example of a good citizen company) is not really the sort of "some people in one city have jobs and nobody else does as a result" tech company as some others. |
