Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) today announced that it is hiring 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. Employees
can earn, on average, more than $19 per hour based on position and
location in the U.S. Interested candidates can see all the regions

“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. 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,” said John
Felton, Amazon’s Senior Vice President of Worldwide Operations.
“Those who choose to stay with us will find a lot of opportunities
to grow their careers, whether they take advantage of our free
college tuition programs or seek out promotions across our
network—this year alone, more than 20,000 front-line employees
received promotions.”
Jobs in Amazon’s operations network include stowing, picking,
packing, sorting, shipping customer orders, and more, and are
available in hundreds of cities and towns across America. These
roles can be the start of a long-term career inside or outside the
company. The flexibility of the jobs available come with a wide
range of hours—full- and part-time—and excellent pay and benefits.
Sign-on bonuses ranging from $1,000 to $3,000 are available in
select locations.
“I’m an HR professional by trade and joined Amazon in a seasonal
operations role when the company I worked for closed,” said Amazon
employee Rose Deimler, who is now a senior human resources business
partner at Amazon’s fulfillment center in Carlisle, Pennsylvania.
“I was really just looking for a job to help pay the bills while I
figured out my next step and, nearly 11 years later, I’ve grown the
opportunity into a senior-level HR role with five direct reports.
Now, I’m able to help other employees learn and grow within the
company.”
While there are jobs available across the country, the states
with the greatest number of available positions include:
California, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Missouri, Oregon,
Texas, Tennessee, Utah, and Washington.
