Amazon average starting pay is now $19/hr for front-line. A full-time worker on $19/hr is not SNAP eligible until they're the sole earner for a family size of four.
- darth_avocado 4y agoYou are not incorrect, $19/hour full time is not SNAP eligible. However, Amazon intentionally hires workers that technically are not full time, not because workers don’t want to work more, but because the company manages its workforce in a way where certain percentage of the employees are not full time. Also, $19 is not the starting wage for all over the country.
