$23.28/hour before expenses in SF Bay Area according to Business Insider

Also keep in mind that pretty much no minimum wage job except ridesharing allows you to earn to and from your way to work.

If you make $13 and hour on an 8 hour shift in California with a 1 hour commute each way and a $3 bus fare each way, it comes out to $9.80/hour not $13.

I mean to be fair, the argument is that the expenses (basically, wear & tear on the vehicle) are significant. The IRS I guess has a whole schedule for vehicle depreciation, they have this down to a science. So $23ish an hour but large vehicle expenses drag this down to quite a bit less
