A new study confirms Seattle’s 2024 ‘Gig Worker’ law has been a miserable failure. The National Bureau of Economic Research study showed higher per-delivery pay was offset by fewer deliveries and lower tips. Active drivers saw no net gain in monthly earnings. DoorDash reported a decline of 30,000 orders, while Uber Eats saw a 30 percent drop in order volume.

Drivers earned less than half of what they had prior to the ordinance’s passage. While per-task base pay doubled, driver tips decreased, and fewer tasks were completed. The law, intended to help gig workers, has backfired, leading to increased wait times and more idle time. Seattle’s attempt to regulate the gig economy has resulted in unintended consequences, harming the very workers it sought to protect.
