How much do Uber drivers make in Southern California?

I live in Los Angeles, and my landlord just jacked up my rent by a few hundred bucks. It’s not that much of a burden, but I want to do some type of part-time job to offset the cost. I keep reading that Uber is a great way to earn some extra income, but how much do drivers for Uber make throughout Southern California?
