It's not, it's mostly a sign that benefits are working.
Giving workers benefits /increases/ their compensation because it increases their negotiating power. This means they're earning more than they otherwise would. Not less.
If it was less, that would mean benefits are bad and we should take them away!

No one who can hold down a job and is currently employed should need government assistance to survive. Doesn’t matter if it’s Amazon or its competitors.

"They were recruited into the survey using the Meta/Facebook" that's a red flag on the quality of the study.
"To provide a more demographically representative picture, we reweighted survey responses using data on race and gender composition that Amazon reported to the EEOC in 2021.2" also a red flag because they already don't necessarily have a representative sample, and then are reweighting using data from a different selection criteria.
The study said that 13% of workers moved into higher paying jobs within Amazon, and their numbers were removed from the study.
Yah, I think I'm going to stop reading this study. Very low quality work.
