SAN FRANCISCO—Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi said the company is likely to shut down temporarily for a few months in California if a new court ruling stating they must classify all of their drivers as full-time employees is not overruled.

On Monday Uber and Lyft, both modern, popular choices for transportation for the public, were ordered by a California judge to brand all of their drivers as full-time employees of their companies, while up until now they have been considered independent contractors.

“If the court doesn’t reconsider, then in California, it’s hard to believe we’ll be able to switch our model to full-time employment quickly,” Khosrowshahi told MSNBC Wednesday morning.

The ruling made by San Francisco Superior Court Judge Ethan P. Schulman will not go into effect immediately, as both companies have stated they will be appealing to a higher court in hopes of overturning Schulman’s verdict.


Meh, OK with with me. Go ahead and shut down, Uber.

Most recent figures for California is 5.2% unemployment rate. Yep, it went up another tick.

Would the numbers include illegals?

There is nothing a few more millions of illegals can't cure.

To answer the question. Yes, it includes illegals.

So in California the unemployment stats are not based on how many are collecting unemployment? Or do illegals collect unemployment in CA?

But of course:

In California, to be eligible for unemployment benefits, one must meet certain requirements. These include:

Having earned enough wages during the base period.
Being totally or partially unemployed.
Being unemployed through no fault of your own.
Being physically able to work.
Being available for work.
Being ready and willing to accept work immediately.

These requirements apply to all individuals, regardless of their immigration status.

They only get unemployment if they worked a W2 job. Most of the recent illegals work for Uber, Lyft, Amazon, etc as independent contractors. In CA, only the pandemic "emergency" allowed for IC's to collect unemployment.

So, unemployment in CA is not really up if illegals are being counted counted.

In California jobs were added, but the labor force grew to such an extent that the overall unemployment rate went up.

Includes? Or, is caused by?
