From what I understand, Amazon actually has trouble recruiting and retaining enough warehouse workers (especially during peak seasons). This is evident by them having a starting wage ($15/hr) that is more than double the minimum wage in many parts of the country
- wil421 8y agoGlassdoor says the average was only $12 but in October they raised it to $15 minimum. Walmart’s low end is about $13 but the average is $17 an hour. Walmart has 1.5 million workers in the US, over 2 million worldwide. The goods news is Amazon’s pay raise has made Walmart and Target increase their minimum wages as well.

- toomuchtodo 8y agoReminder that the Amazon pay raise occurred because Bernie Sanders shamed them into it. Disney as well.

- BurningFrog 8y agoI guess we mean different things with "trouble".
