It's an example that does not appreciate with a concept of scale.

There are very few employers of non-skilled labor that provide higher take home pay for the same or smaller number of hours worked than Uber.

You should ask anyone who does unskilled labor if they would take a less paying job.

Uber might have the highest take home pay, but subtract vehicle depreciation, maintenance costs, insurance riders for rideshare driving, and the net is more in line with other employers of low-skill labor.
