Editorial twisted facts about Amazon workplaces | Letters Updated Dec 20, 2020; Facebook Share Your Dec. 7 editorial, “Amazon is hiring. Now the test is treating employees humanely,” made numerous allegations without an opportunity for Amazon to respond.

We’re proud to offer a minimum $15 wage, especially when the federal minimum is unchanged since 2009 at $7.25 an hour. In New Jersey, we offer a least $15.25 an hour, $4.25 more than the state’s 2020 minimum wage. You say that’s “lower than a typical warehouse job,” which is a flawed, inaccurate analysis of data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. The truth is, Amazon is a great place to work with industry-leading pay, benefits on Day One, 401(k) match, and skill improvement programs.
