Amazon is aiming to hire as many 150,000 extra workers across the U.S. for the holiday season, with sign-on bonuses of up to $3,000 offered in some locations.
Determined not to get caught out by a sudden influx of orders this holiday season, Amazon says it’s planning to hire as many 150,000 extra workers across the U.S. The figure is the same as last year, and 50,000 more than the company took on during the same period in 2020.
Employees will be able to earn, on average, more than $19 per hour depending on the role and the location in the U.S. As an extra incentive, it’s also offering sign-on bonuses ranging from $1,000 to $3,000 in select locations, though it doesn’t say where. “We’re proud to offer a wide variety of roles for people of all backgrounds, with more than 150,000 roles available across the country,” John Felton, Amazon’s senior vice president of worldwide operations, said in a release. “Whether someone is looking for some extra money for a few months or a long-term career, the holidays are a great time for people to join Amazon, and many of our seasonal employees return year-after-year or transition into full-time roles.
