Amazon is hiring 250K workers ahead of the Black Friday shopping season
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.
