These fulfillment centers aren’t in Manhattan and San Francisco.

$19 is certainly enough to live (~$38k/year). This is way above poverty and one of the highest wages for unskilled labor.

A family of two making 38k a year each sounds like a very decent income.

At least it's way more than a postdoc immigrant can count on.
