Sad that Amazon is allowed to take an even bigger share of American online retail.

They are raising their wage to $17 per hour. That's around $3,000 per month in stead of their usual $2,500 per month.

Little vacation, few sick days.

They are earning their market share by providing better service than other retailers. That's how it's supposed to work.

According to Google, that beats Walmart pay[0]. Less clear for Target[1]. Of course, if reports are even remotely accurate, Amazon warehouse working conditions are considerably worse.

I don't know what other retailers pay, but I wouldn't be surprised if they're comparable.
