Half a million employees is staggering.
…………………………………………………………
Yes, it is. Another million or so and they will catch up with Wal-Mart. I’ve read that Wal-Mart pays their hourly workers a little better though. Locally (Central Illinois) starting pay $11.50 per hour.
Yes it is, what is more staggering is all the employees that guit shortly after they were hired or were let go shortly after the Christmas season. I wonder if any of those half a million that they speak of were part of those that quit or were let go. Also does that half a million include the temps that supposedly work for the temp service they use. And even thought they admit they don't own the temp service they use, I wouldn't doubt if they do own them under the table. Having worked for Amazon, I trust them like politicians/lawyers running for office.
