Is "I work for Uber" the new "I'm Unemployed"

Hello,

I am currently looking to rent one of my units. I have had a few people come by to veiw it.  One thing i had noticed is a new trend.  5 out of the 16 veiwers said "Oh yes i have a job... i work for Uber." or "...of course my husband is employed... he works for Uber." Though i respect anyone making a living, i see this as a side hustle and not any form of steady employment to count on. Has anyone had similar experiences? Is "I work for Uber" the new "I'm Unemployed"?

If someone has Uber as their primary job, yes they're unemployed. If someone has a different job and does Uber on the side, that's different. Uber isn't consistent in pay and you shouldn't rent out to someone who Ubers as their primary W2 job,
