It wasn't obvious as "Amazon" has a lot of jobs and these drivers aren't even employed by Amazon in the first place.
Amazon has lots of jobs, yes. But context is king.
If I say “Developers stay at Facebook because Meta pays them above average”, will you be confused on who is “them” because Meta has many jobs? Will you think that maybe they’re saying that Meta pays janitors above average?
It’s not a difficult thing to understand by context.
Again, these drivers aren't even Amazon employees, so yes it is confusing when someone says something as vague as "Amazon pays above the national average" when discussing people who specifically don't work for Amazon.
