Amazon Boosts Hiring Efforts With 250K Job Openings Versus 150K in 2022

Amazon.Com Inc AMZN disclosed plans to hire 250,000 employees throughout the U.S. in full-time, seasonal, and part-time roles across its operations network, and 30,000 of those will be across California. 

In 2022, Amazon.Com hired 150,000 employees throughout the U.S. in full-time, seasonal, and part-time roles across its operations network. 

A diverse range of roles—from packing and picking to sorting and shipping—are available to applicants from all backgrounds and experience levels. 

The flexibility of jobs available comes with a wide range of hours—complete- and part-time—and excellent pay and benefits.

John Felton, Amazon's Senior Vice President of Worldwide Operations, said, "A fulfillment or transportation employee who starts with us today will see a 13% increase in pay over the next three years—likely more, including our annual wage investments—and that's on top of offerings like pre-paid college tuition with Career Choice and health care benefits on day one."

Amazon has opened over 50 fulfillment centers, delivery stations, and same-day delivery sites in the U.S. this year, resulting in hundreds or thousands of new job opportunities per site.

Amazon laid off 27,000 workers in 2023, including hundreds of zone lead positions at Amazon Fresh grocery store.

Price Action: AMZN shares traded lower by 2.64% at $136.29 on the last check Tuesday.
