I also question the "more than $15+".
Depends, if the median is $15+, half could be making more than $15, and half could be making less, in which case your "more than likely" would be false.*
And by "median full time worker", I assume he means all full time employees. Doing a quick Google, I see a couple of different numbers,
"... average salary with compensation, $28,446 ...",
and
"... Amazon Amazon Warehouse Worker Hourly Pay. The typical Amazon Amazon Warehouse Worker salary is $12. Amazon Warehouse Worker salaries at Amazon can range from $9 - $17. This estimate is based upon 669 Amazon Amazon Warehouse Worker salary report(s) provided by employees or estimated based upon statistical methods. ..."
and
"... The average salary for software engineers at Amazon is north of $100,000, according to data from PayScale, a salary comparison service. By comparison, a full-time warehouse associate at one of Amazon's fulfillment centers in New Jersey could make as much as $13.85 per hour, according to a current job posting ..."
I don't mean to belittle Amazon's pay raise. Kudos to Amazon.
* I admit that I am extremely stretching it here.
