How much do Uber drivers make in Portland, Oregon?
I’ve thought about driving for Uber before but I’ve never actually applied because I’m not sure that Portland is the place for it. Could I make a living driving for Uber in Portland, Oregon?

Finding out the estimated paycheck is a smart move before you commit to a new job! Uber drivers in Portland,
Oregon
earn an average of about $39,000 per year when driving full-time, or between $17.00 and $18.00 per hour.However, the way that these earnings are split up over the days is not equal. If you drive for Uber on a weekend, for example, you might make $40.00 per hour, whereas on weekdays you might make as little as $9.00 per hour. This means that driving for Uber on weekend nights is much more productive than driving on weekdays.
If you want to make the most of your time driving for Uber, try to stick to well-populated areas, like restaurants, bars, airports, and other locations known for high traffic and little parking availability. This will earn you more riders and, therefore, earn you more money.
