Well, that's what basic economic theory would predict, so I'd argue you'd need to have a pretty robust and demonstrated reason to conclude that it wouldn't. You've first got the general increasing in the supply of labour, but then you've got a secondary effect considering the lowering of barriers to people who consider car ownership a sunk cost and not connected directly and solely to using the vehicle for income-production introducing a very low marginal rate for some of that supply...
Do you think that drives down the wages of the people who need to do it as their main source of income?
