so wait.... the two largest employers are companies who buy Chinese merchandise on the stupid-cheap. Pay their workers just enough to avoid massive strikes, sell it to us just cheap enough to keep us coming back... shoot - amazon doesn't even buy it... they just pass it through. no wonder we're screwed.Amazon is still a distant second to the country's largest private employer, Walmart, which employs nearly 1.6 million people in the US, or one out of every 91 workers.
