Amazon can’t control your family situation, and they can’t base pay on it, either. No single adult should be on food stamps with a $15/hour wage.

- marcusverus 6y agoIt's kind of shameless, in my opinion: 1) Obama (in the ACA) expands food stamp access by making it available to households with an income of <=133% of the poverty line. 2) food stamp enrollment rises significantly. 3) Progressives, clutching their pearls, cite "high" food stamp enrollment as an indication of the need for more Progressive policies!
- koheripbal 6y agoAmazon warehouse salaries start at $15.25/hr. That is more than double the US Federal minimum wage. ~$31K per year.
- cwhiz 6y agoMIT has a living wage calculator[0], and in most locations in the US $15/hour is a living wage for a single adult. Amazon can't alter their wage scale based on your family situation. They aren't even allowed to ask about your family situation, it's a protected class. [0]: https://livingwage.mit.edu https://livingwage.mit.edu
