Chicago: You're Worth More Than You're Being Paid—Keep 90% With Lumo
Your Work Is Worth More
Finding good work in Chicago right now feels impossible. Too many people are stuck in jobs that undervalue what they bring—whether it's navigating Lake Shore Drive traffic for deliveries, hauling boxes up three-floor walkups in Wicker Park, or helping someone in Pilsen get their home ready for guests. You already have skills that neighbors need. The problem isn't you. It's that most platforms take too much of what customers pay.
On Lumo, you keep 90% of every job. Not 60%. Not 75%. Ninety percent. That's what your labor is actually worth.
How Lumo Works for Chicago Contractors
Lumo is a marketplace connecting independent contractors with people who need local help—deliveries, rides, moving, handyman work, errands, pet care, and more. You choose the jobs that fit your schedule and skills. No boss. No shifts. Just work that pays what it should.
- Keep 90% of what customers pay—you earn what your time is worth
- Set your own hours—work around your life, whether that's avoiding rush hour or picking up weekend gigs
- Get paid the same day—no waiting two weeks for money you've already earned
- $100 loyalty bonus after you complete your first 100 jobs
Whether you're in Logan Square, the Loop, or Lincoln Park, neighbors need help. And right now, Lumo is looking for 300 contractors across Chicago to be ready when jobs start coming in.
You Deserve to Keep What You Earn
You shouldn't have to give up a third of your pay just to access work. If you can drive, lift, fix things, clean, care for pets, or help with tech, you already have what it takes. Lumo is building a marketplace where the people doing the work actually get paid fairly.
