"Lyft became one of the biggest ride-hailing apps in the US over the last 13 years. Now, it's set up for its next stage of growth. The service, which relies on about 1 million gig-worker drivers, is breaking into new areas, including launching this year a service for older riders called Lyft Silver. Like rival Uber, Lyft is also experimenting with self-driving cars, a development that CEO David Risher said could be "transformational.""
"Software engineers can earn base salaries of as much as $300,000, work visa data shows. Here's what the ride-hailing service pays some tech workers, from data scientists to designers. Work visa data shows that Lyft sought to hire 114 workers through the H-1B program in the first three quarters of this reporting year, which ran from October 1 to June 30, based on filings with the US Department of Labor. That's up from 70 for the same period in the previous reporting year."
