Amazon Set To Hire 100,000 People
Amazon is adding to their growing infrastructure.
Ever since COVID began, Amazon has seen a huge increase in online orders. Due to this they have needed many more workers.
Now they are looking to hire 100,000 more workers to meet the growing demand for online shopping, which has spiked during the pandemic.
The new positions are for full and part-time work across the U.S. and Canada according to Jeff Bezos.
$15 an hour is the starting pay and some cities are even offering $1,000 sign on bonuses.
Dave Clark, senior vice president of worldwide operations at Amazon said
“We are opening 100 buildings this month alone across new fulfillment and sortation centers, delivery stations, and other sites,”
Since 2010 Amazon has reportedly created more than 600,000 jobs in the United States making it one of the largest employers in the country.
