Creating 250,000 job opportunities across the U.S.

The holidays are one of the most exciting times at Amazon-both because of the joy our customers feel, and because it's when we welcome thousands of new teammates into our network. This year, we're hiring for 250,000 full-time, part-time, and seasonal positions throughout our fulfillment and transportation network across the U.S. Regular full- and part-time employees earn an average of $23 per hour with benefits, and seasonal employees can earn an average wage of over $19 per hour. Roles will be posted weekly from October through December on hiring.amazon.com.
We find that our seasonal roles are really popular-often filling up within minutes of being posted-because they meet different needs for so many different people. For some, it's a few months of extra income to support their families during the holidays. For others, it's the first step in building a new career path. Every year, we meet employees who started as seasonal hires and go on to become managers, trainers, or leaders across our buildings, and we love that people everywhere can make these jobs what they want them to be.

Amazon is investing over $1 billion to raise pay and lower health care costs for US fulfillment and transportation employees

Average total compensation is now over $30 per hour when you include elected benefits.

Seasonal roles offer great pay, flexible schedules, and the chance to be a part of a team that makes a real difference during the holidays. For those who then stay on in full-time roles, the opportunities expand even further, with access to a range of benefits including health careand education programs like Career Choice-where we'll pre-pay tuition for our teammates to earn college degrees or certificates, helping them build their careers for the long term (whether with us or another company). Seasonal employees also see their pay go up significantly as they grow with us-someone who's been with us for three years has already seen their pay go up an average of 18%.
Having built my own career from the front line in environments where people invested in one another, I know the power of opening doors, and it's a privilege to see that play out here across our network. As we prepare for the busy holiday season, we look forward to welcoming 250,000 new teammates to our operations network. Together, we will continue building a workplace where today's opportunities can grow into tomorrow's careers.
