It's $42k annually and that's before the insurance, maintenance, depreciation and fuel, so down to the mid-to-high 30's. That seems like it would be poverty level in many California cities.
Not to mention most of those hypothetical 40hrs a week (assuming they can get that much work) would be unsociable hours because that’s when demand is at its greatest (eg people leaving the pub).
Family health insurance costs $24K/yr. Rent is atleast $24K/hr. Those 2 alone will kill you...

Heh. I heard it was bad in CA but wow.
That's a fair point I didn't think about the car maintenance too much.
Neither do most of the drivers, unfortunately. They are going to be the ones holding the bag at the end.
