Amazon Workers Rely on Food Stamps and Medicaid
Original: Amazon workers rely on SNAP, Medicaid
Reports and public discussion point to a significant number of Amazon employees in the United States relying on government assistance programs such as SNAP food benefits and Medicaid to make ends meet, despite working for one of the world's most valuable companies. Critics say the situation highlights low wages and unstable scheduling in parts of the retail and logistics sector, and raises questions about taxpayers effectively subsidising large employers through public benefit programs.
Why now: Ongoing scrutiny of low wages at major US employers has renewed attention on workers needing public assistance despite the company's size and profits.
