Isn't Amazon also unionized? Or just certain distribution centers maybe? If the latter, you can be sure to see a greater effort of Amazon employees and unions to raise their minimum wage. Walmart can't be far behind. There's been a trope for over a decade, true or not I don't know, that many/most Walmart store employees have to rely on government assistance to make ends meet.

Amazon wages vary by state, and the $16-17 is the starting - Amazon claims average wage of warehouse and fulfillment employees is $20.50 although that’s their claim, so apply salt. It is very aggressive in opposing unionization, as are all the big companies - Starbucks, Walmart, etc. So not a dream job, to state the obvious, but it’s a job that someone without skills can get and do.
