How Much Can You Make Working Undocumented in the US?
How much can you make working illegally in the US?
After looking into it, delivering food and driving for Uber in the US are pretty similar to Meituan and Didi back home — the main difference is dollars versus yuan. Food delivery typically brings in over $6,000 a month, while driving for Uber starts at $8,000 or more, in USD. In China it's roughly the same. There are fewer people abroad, so the income might be slightly lower than back home.
Of course, the risks are bigger overseas. The US basically let COVID run its course with natural immunity. That said, if you work in the restaurant industry, you can actually save money. Whether in China or abroad, about half of restaurants cover both meals and housing. Overseas there's also a mandatory 18% tip, so the average starting salary is $4,000 per month. If you hustle hard, you can do the work of two or three people and earn $8,000 or more in USD.
