> This might sound very naive but there is a huge jobs shortage out there, so if working in an Amazon warehouse is so bad why do people do it?

You're assuming that people can relocate on a whim, considering the rental prices right now? If an Amazon warehouse is what pays the most at a 30 miles distance, that's where people are going to go.

The "job shortage" isn't distributed equally on the surface of USA either.

Data on what? "Relocation is unpleasant, time-consuming, and expensive"? "Jobs aren't equally distributed geographically"?
