While you read the below quote and then the article it’s linked to on The Verge, remember these facts:
- Apple’s current worth, as of writing this, is $2.825 TRILLION
- Apple profited $94.7 BILLION in 2021
- Entry level engineering jobs at Apple pay over $150,000/year
Part of the issue is pay. Apple’s retail employees make on average between $19 and $25 an hour in the United States, according to Glassdoor. That’s good for the retail industry, but can be grating for employees who want to build a career at the tech giant. Some say that after staying at the company for six years, they’re making less than $21 an hour.
