Kalanick shared some new stats, noting that 1.6 million people have taken an Uber in its four and a half years of operation, creating the equivalent of 7,500 full-time jobs. The only way that creates new jobs is if the alternative was walking or staying home, or driving yourself. Otherwise it is just taking revenue and jobs from current cab drivers.

Otherwise it is just taking revenue and jobs from current cab drivers. Not exactly. There is a very encouraging trend among young people today in which they Uber to and from bars as opposed to taking their own cars. These kids would never take a traditional taxi. This is cutting down significantly on having drunk drivers on the road.
