Please back up your claim Jobs pays salaries lower than the national median for ANY position.

I've seen nothing whatsoever to support it.

I have a friend who's son works at apple up in Sacremento. He gets paid $15 per hour. That was after $12 probation period. You posted managements wages and tell me that is the avereage. For white color folfs I would imagine you coul;d be right. But that is a tiny percentage of the employees.

15 an hour for the pimple faced kid in the Apple Store is pretty good money for the work being done. He's not inventing ****ing Iphones he puts them in a shopping bag for christs sake.

The Ipad and Iphone are the best inventions to come along in years Apple deserves all they have made from those products. Can't wait to buy an Ipad2 from the kid making 15 bucks an hour.

You sure make a lot of assumptions. "Pimple faced kid" He is married and got layed off his other job. He is doing what he can to take care of his family. You are a moron sometimes ya know?

That isn't "management's wages", that is an average of all salaries.

Jobs pays store clerks a fair wage. If you have evidence to the contrary, I'm all eyes.

What you call greed, intelligent people call success. This is nothing more than the same song that was sung during the Great Depression when businesses were blamed for the collapse of the economy.

First of all - where do you get the $15/hr. number?? Is it the average of all wages including those paid overseas where $15/hr. means that you are living VERY well?? C'mon, Mikeyy, give us the FACTS instead of the propaganda...
