Amazon Has Turned a Middle-Class Warehouse Career into a McJob
I think the author has a beef with Amazon. The labor market is based on supply and demand . If the labor supply is more than the demand, then wages will fall. Except for forklift drivers, most warehouse jobs are unskilled Jobs and during times of high unemployment, prices for unskilled labor tends to fall down. The United States also admits close to a million immigrants every year - mostly via the family based categories. Those also tend to have a downward effect on wages as they compete with local talent for the same jobs .
