The typical Amazon worker made less than $30,000 in 2017- Marketwatch
The typical Amazon.com Inc. employee was paid less than $30,000 in 2017, the company disclosed Wednesday afternoon.
In an annual filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Amazon said its median employee brought home $28,446 in total compensation in 2017. That figure is much lower than other tech companies — Facebook Inc., for instance, recently disclosed a median salary of more than $240,000 — as well as United Parcel Service Inc. , which reported median compensation of $53,433.
In an email to MarketWatch, an Amazon spokeswoman pointed out that the compensation figures include a wide range of roles across many countries.
