I would like to see that same survey done again. (one year later).

The rate cuts have changed things.

80% will quit within a year, yet more whack-a-moles will give it a go.

Isn't 90 days the average?

THe high turn over really has to start hurting them at some point. Think of all the administrative stuff that has to be handled. I suppose it's mostly automated but you'd think that every driver generates a mountain of records that have to be maintained. And the liability cost of using a new untested driver is much bigger than if you could be using seasoned drivers with proven records. The financial benefit of having a proven good driver record and I'm not talking about ratings but incidents that cause insurance claims, should be a bargaining point for drivers for something like uber reducing it's cut.

I want to say the average drivers stays three months, not sure on that though, chi1cabby would know.

We don't know what the Uber Driver Churn Rate exactly is, but it's safe to say that it's quite high.

It takes luck and patience in figuring out how to make over $20 an hour consistently. Most people have neither for this kind of BS.

Driving will only be profitable for those that can make it a full time deal. I scored a $40 ride today after being online for 5 minutes but after that nothing while I made my way back to base so I can see which way the wind is blowing and log off and do some grocery shopping since I'm already on the road. I doubt I'll log back in today because why waste my time. If you have a wide open schedule you can do these hit and runs all week and not be sitting around in your car waiting.
