Amazon slams Walmart for not paying workers $15 per hour, following new criticism of the e-commerce giant's treatment of workers

In analysis of 68 counties where Amazon has opened warehouses, average industry compensations has dropped by 6% within two years, Bloomberg reported. Average wages increase five years after Amazon arrives to the area.

In response to the article, Amazon questioned why the article does not explore wages at Walmart, the country's largest retailer. "Hiring more, by paying less, simply does not work. Many of our employees join Amazon from other jobs in retail which tend to be predominantly part-time, reduced benefit jobs with substantially less than our $15 minimum wage," Amazon said in a statement to Bloomberg. "These employees see a big increase in pay per hour, total take-home pay, and overall benefits versus their previous jobs.

Americans need to slam Amazon's tax exempt status.

Just cut a ton of workers like they did and all the unprincipled goofs will still support you.

I’ve been surprised by how many things I order from Amazon end up arriving in a Walmart box .... 🤔

Ha ha ha ha this is awesome a billionaire calling out another billionaire how about investing in start-up ecommerce companies that will create more jobs.

I think my days of buying from Amazon are coming to an end.

hey this stupid bald man will break market.

Minimum wage should probably mirror the cost of living in the area and $15 an hour in some areas is way too much for someone to say hello to me in Walmart.

That whole pot/kettle thing.

Um...

Aaah the juvenile what about them..........

Walmart has far better benefits than Amazon. Not even close.

'ah yes,' as WCFields would say, the tried-and-true turn the tables on someone else tactic to divert attention from your own abysmal treatment of your employees

Walmart is not the best place to work, USA and the rest of the world needs to teach the people “financial education”! The world need more millionaire minds .

Pot/Kettle

That’s the 1% for you,telling everyone else how to do things

Republicans said they can’t pass a stimulus due to the deficit. Why aren’t they taxing the rich that have profited from the pandemic?
