Amazon's a real outlier there, presumably because it doesn't outsource services that make heavy use of low-skilled/low-paid workers. But is that necessarily a bad thing?
To what extent do Apple etc. rely on other companies doing "dirty work" for them to ensure only high skilled employees are on their payroll?

Personally, I think of Amazon as a retail outlet with a e-commerce UI, so their margins are bound be low, similar to other retail outlets.
IIRC, they are actually making a loss most quarters excluding their cloud computing unit (AWS) which is pulling up their profit margins a bit.
