“Seasonal employees who stay at the company can see an average pay increase of 15% over their first three years with Amazon,” the company said.
Amazon is investing $2.2 billion in additional pay for fulfillment and transportation workers which, when accounting for elected benefits, will bring the average total compensation to more than $29 per hour.
“We’re also looking forward to welcoming back many familiar faces—each season we see many individuals come back year after year to be a part of the holiday season here at Amazon,” company officials said. “The holiday season is 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.”
Across the U.S., the company hopes to hire around 250,000 new full-time, part-time and seasonal jobs.
“Open roles are posted throughout the holiday season and fill up quickly, so be sure to check back for updates,” Amazon said.
