How it is measured

Each Labor Condition Application states the salary the employer offers for the position. Kitegraph takes the offered wage on Amazon's certified full-time applications from the Department of Labor disclosure files, annualizes hourly figures, and reports the median per federal fiscal year beside the median across all employers. The Amazon series groups filings made as Amazon.com Services, Amazon Web Services, Amazon Development Center, and Amazon Data Services. These are salaries offered on applications, not a payroll survey.

What the curve shows

Amazon's median offer rose from $95,000 in fiscal 2008 to $152,100 in 2025, below its $153,000 peak of fiscal 2024. It has run above the median across all employers in every year of the series.
