Amazon Is Creating Company Towns Across the United States

I take data from these sites with a grain of salt because it seems far too easy and tempting to poison the data well for those wishing to see the rates lower than reality. Payscale is a bit closer to what I think reality might be. It's unfortunate how gaming perception and such information is such a potentially successful strategy.

The OOH from DOL puts it closer to $14.66/hr which I put a bit more faith in:

That's 'median pay', though, not 'average starting pay'.

I don't see starting average pay on the OOH website, only median pay.

So a measure less skewed by outliers, even better.

It’s pretty flattering to Amazon to compare them to the industry median pay and find that their starting pay beats it. If you start at Amazon you beat half of all warehouse workers across their entire tenure.

That is correct.
