The lowest paid person at Amazon is earning well over the median wage in Bessemer, Alabama.
Amazon could probably have no problem staffing the center at $11/hr there, but they're paying $18-$22 instead. How on earth can you define that as 'exploitation'? It's borderline charity, given the observable labor market equilibrium there.

- lupire 6y agoIs the lowest Amazon job as easy and safe as the below median jobs in Bessemer? Speedwalking an Amazon warehouse carrying objects, run by hyper-optimizing automation that times tasks to the second, is different from leaning on idle cash register at McDonalds, or slowly pushing a vacuum cleaner.
