Amazon Will Hire 250,000 U.S. Holiday Workers for Third Straight Year

The hiring push follows a new $1 billion pay-and-benefits investment that lifts average total compensation above $30 an hour.

Overview

  • Roles span U.S. fulfillment and transportation networks with full-time, part-time and seasonal positions.
  • Regular employees average $23 per hour with benefits, and seasonal hires average more than $19 per hour.
  • Amazon says the investment is raising pay and lowering healthcare costs for frontline workers, taking average total compensation past $30 an hour.
  • New openings will be posted weekly from October through December on hiring.amazon.com and amazon.com/localjobs.
  • The hiring goal matches the last two years as Adobe projects slower online holiday sales growth and other retailers outline mixed seasonal plans, including announced additions at Bath & Body Works and Spirit Halloween.
