Increased reliance on social assistance

According to a federal report commissioned by Bernie Sanders, a worrying trend is emerging in the United States. More and more workers in Amazon's gig economy are turning to social assistance programs such as Medicaid and food stamps. These jobs, often precarious and poorly paid, push employees to seek additional financial support to meet their basic needs.

Implications for workers

This situation highlights the difficult conditions faced by these workers. Despite apparent flexibility, gig economy jobs do not guarantee the stability needed to avoid precariousness. This raises questions about the responsibility of large companies like Amazon in supporting their employees.
