• Regular employees average $23 per hour with benefits and seasonal workers average over $19, with average total compensation topping $30 per hour when benefits are included.
• Amazon ties the hiring to a recently announced investment to raise pay and reduce health costs for U.S. frontline logistics workers.
• Industry trackers expect fewer than 500,000 seasonal retail jobs overall in 2025, positioning Amazon’s 250,000 roles to represent a disproportionately large share as some rivals avoid big hiring pledges.
