RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK – The US public supports a more than doubling of the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour, according to a new nationwide poll from internet giant Amazon.
Amazon, which is quickly expanding its footprint in the Triangle with more distribution centers and is planning to add hundreds more jobs, already has embraced an average wage of $15 an hour.
“We believe that $15 an hour is the minimum that anyone in the U.S. should earn for an hour of labor; that’s why we were among the first major employers to offer a $15 an hour starting wage and why we’ve been advocating for an increase to the federal minimum wage ever since,” said Jay Carney, Senior Vice President, Amazon Global Corporate Affairs, in a statement.
