You are misusing that statistic the average of all employers would include all workers not only those workers that experienced wage theft.

If the US labor US labor force is ~161.2 million workers and had 8B/year in wage theft then the average per 1 million workers is ~50 million. Seeing multiple payouts well over 50 million suggests Amazon could be worse than average here.
