MEDIUM · sourced, not yet live-verified

MEDIUM 2026-04-29 (Round F), newly added. Minneapolis has rideshare protections (Uber/Lyft passenger only) but no equivalent for food delivery. Earnings figure is a market-median estimate. To promote to HIGH: would need extension of city ordinance to food delivery, or a tier-1/2 Minnesota-specific delivery source.

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

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.
