Economists in Hawaii say the gig economy has provided individuals with flexible work options, and its success is a testament to the potential it holds.

An extraordinary success story is right here in our Islands: a DoorDash driver in Hawaii is breaking all expectations by making over $100,000 a year, surpassing traditional job earnings for many.

Ronald Coleman has found a recipe for success by delivering meals, groceries, and pretty much anything you could need. But this dasher’s Life is also serving up a lucrative income.

Coleman says, “You can make a lot of money, you can make more than 100,000 – its all about what you want to make, it’s all about you.”

And it’s all about hustle, as Coleman works 7 days a week and between 12 to 20 hours a day. His goal is to make $400 each day. So that works out to about $33 to $40 an hour. When Coleman looked at his 1099 in 2022 he saw that raked in $114,000, which surprised him.
