Amazon is hiring 250,000 workers in its customer fulfillment and transportation operations centers just in time for the holiday shopping season.

According to a press release from Amazon, Amazon is setting aside $2.2 billion for salary increases for fulfillment center and transportation employees.

Seasonal workers can expect to earn at least $18 hourly including benefits such as health care coverage starting on the first day of work.

“The holiday season is always exciting for Amazon and our customers, and it’s a time when we create a lot of new jobs for people who want to earn extra money for a few months or kick off a career at Amazon,” the company announced Thursday.

The e-commerce retailer did a similar move in 2023 when it announced it would hire around 250,000 seasonal workers while increasing wages for fulfillment center and transportation workers.
