With annual 100%-150% turnover rates* Amazon needs to figure out some way to keep people around and engaged. They’re simply running out of Americans to employ who are willing to work such a physically demanding job for peanuts.

Their biggest competitor for employees in many places in America is Wal-Mart; and they’ve been offering this for a while now.



Peanuts? In my area Amazon pays between $19-$21/hr for entry level / no education required, positions.

This is significantly higher than most other entry level jobs in the area.


Peanuts being more than twice minimum wage.
