Motional | Handout The ride-hailing company announced the launch with a press release Wednesday. Uber is teaming with Boston-based Motional, a two-year-old autonomous vehicle company founded as a partnership between Hyundai and auto parts maker Aptiv.

At this point, it’s still possible to claim a piece of the payout, but time is running out. Here’s what to know. Why was a class-action lawsuit filed against T-Mobile? In an August 2021 statement , T-Mobile confirmed that there had been a “highly sophisticated cyberattack” against the company’s systems, which had compromised data files with personal information from roughly 7.8 million current customers, as well as 40 million former or prospective customers. This information included first and last names, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, and driver’s license/ID information.

This is the weekly Careers newsletter. Déjà Leonard is a copywriter and freelance journalist based in Calgary. Statistics Canada released data on gig work in its Labour Force Survey for the first time last week, defining it as “short-term tasks, projects or jobs, with no assurance of steady employment.” The data show men (73 per cent) and landed immigrants (55 per cent) from the ages of 16 to 69 make up the majority of the food delivery contractors. Women (58 per cent) make up the majority of content creators – those who create blogs, videos or podcasts online. Statistics Canada’s move to track this data highlights the growing role gig work is playing in the economy. The United States is certainly seeing that growth. The gross value of the gig economy south of the border was $US204-billion in 2018 and is expected to rise to $US455-billion in 2023, according to Statista .
