Dara Kerr

Dara Kerr was an enterprise reporter for The Markup with a focus on labor. She left The Markup in January 2023. Based in Oakland, she covers Silicon Valley employees, gig and warehouse workers, and the ways labor is changing. She’s interested in how companies are redefining work and what that means for society.

Before joining The Markup, she was a senior reporter for CNET, writing about the gig economy. Her reporting looked at the epidemic of sexual assault in ride-hailing, gig companies’ battles with government regulators, and the lack of protections for workers in that industry.
