Amazon can’t control your family situation, and they can’t base pay on it, either. No single adult should be on food stamps with a $15/hour wage.

It's kind of shameless, in my opinion:

1) Obama (in the ACA) expands food stamp access by making it available to households with an income of <=133% of the poverty line.

2) food stamp enrollment rises significantly.

3) Progressives, clutching their pearls, cite "high" food stamp enrollment as an indication of the need for more Progressive policies!

MIT has a living wage calculator[0], and in most locations in the US $15/hour is a living wage for a single adult.

Amazon can't alter their wage scale based on your family situation. They aren't even allowed to ask about your family situation, it's a protected class.

Amazon warehouse salaries start at $15.25/hr.

That is more than double the US Federal minimum wage.

~$31K per year.
