Taxi Drivers and Chauffeurs |
|
|
Taxi drivers and chauffeurs drive people to and from the places they need to go, such as airports, homes, shopping centers, and workplaces. They must know their way around a city to take passengers to their destinations.
About 1 in 5 taxi drivers and chauffeurs worked part time in 2014. Evening and weekend work is common.
Most taxi drivers and chauffeurs go through a brief training period. Many states and local municipalities require them to get a taxi or limousine license. Although a high school diploma is not required, many taxi drivers and chauffeurs have one.
The median annual wage for taxi drivers and chauffeurs was $23,510 in May 2015.
Employment of taxi drivers and chauffeurs is projected to grow 13 percent from 2014 to 2024, faster than the average for all occupations. An increase in ride-hailing services, that utilize electronic hailing through smartphone apps, should contribute to employment growth.
