readings, provide a real-world example of a company employing

Warehouse Workforce
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the warehousing and storage workforce has
been steadily growing since 1990. It has nearly tripled since 1990. Occupations included in the
calculations: truck and tractor operators, material movers, clerks, and
managers.
Average earnings and hours for production and nonsupervisory employees for
October 2019 was $18.65 based on a 40-hour workweek with the vast majority
working in the private sector. The BLS also updates statistics on
work-related fatalities, injuries, and illnesses and compares them with other industries.
Looking beyond the numbers, there is a growing literature that predicts worker
displacement and management issues of frontline employees including technology
shifts and workplace safety.
