US workers take home the smallest share of national output since 1947, with corporate profits rising sharply. Amazon's annual profits jumped from $11.6 bln to $77.7 bln, while wages increased only 12.5% since 2000. The company's spokesperson disputed the conclusion, citing Amazon's competitive pay and comprehensive healthcare benefits.
