They've claimed that those driving during busy hours in high-demand cities (with good potential of surge pricing) are faring fairly well http://newsroom.uber.com/2014/05/an-uber-impact-20000-jobs-c...

And that's just UberX. UberBlack and UberXL have higher revenues, but require higher upfront investments as well.
