#Amazon #FoodStamps #Employees #SNAPbenefits Amazon is one of the top employers of those who receive SNAP benefits, otherwise known as food stamps, in at least five states.  Nearly one in three Amazon employees in Arizona and 1 in 10 in Ohio were on food stamps or lived with someone who was in 2017, according to data obtained by nonprofit New Food Economy from state governments. In Pennsylvania, one in 10 Amazon employees were on food stamps. Senator Bernie Sanders from Vermont, a prominent critic of Amazon, has announced plans to introduce legislation that would tax companies when their employees are on government assistance. A number of Amazon employees in at least five states are on food stamps, or the SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program). That's according to data obtained by nonprofit New Food Economy from state governments in the US. New Food was able to get data from five states: Arizona, Kansas, Ohio, Washington, and Pennsylvania.
