Miami

74composite score · #12 of 50

LOW · source quality below tier-2

LOW. The published $14.00/hr is Florida's general minimum wage standing in for delivery pay, and it does not reach the couriers it is published beside: they are independent contractors and the wage binds employers of employees. An earlier version of this field claimed earnings_url had been repointed to a BLS OES Miami metro page; it points to floridajobs.org, and that claim has been removed as false. The aggregator citation this row once carried was dropped in Round H and its name is no longer published here. To promote: Florida-specific gig-delivery legislation (none proposed) or a tier-1/2 published Miami delivery hourly rate.

Only HIGH-confidence cities carry a full verification audit. See the methodology for what each tier means.

Take-home is gross hourly minus an estimated tax/expense rate per country. See the methodology page for the derivation. This widget assumes you actually work the hours you set. For app-based delivery, a portion of logged-in time is unpaid waiting; the headline rate reflects engaged time only where regulators have defined it.
