Amazon plans to hire 250,000 employees this holiday season to fill roles in fulfillment centers nationwide.

The hiring expansion comes at a time when the online shopping and shipping giant typically starts ramping up for the holiday season. The company shared plans earlier this week to add employees in in full-time, part-time, and seasonal roles nationwide.

Earlier this year, Amazon laid off thousands of workers in the devices organization, retail division, and human resources divisions. The 250,000 jobs Amazon is filling now will largely work in fulfillment centers and transportation roles nationwide, the company said.

Wage Increases

Amazon also revealed plans to increase wages for transportation and customer fulfillment positions, with the company expecting to spend $1.3 billion this year to increase the average pay to $20.50 per hour.

According to Amazon, the company has spent $10 billion over the last five years to increase salaries. 

“A fulfillment or transportation employee who starts with us today will see a 13% increase in pay over the next three years—likely more,” said Senior Vice President of World Operations John Felton. “Including our annual wage investments—and that’s on top of offerings like prepaid college tuition with Career Choice and health care benefits from day one.”

Many of the Amazon fulfillment center jobs deal with packaging or delivery, but there are a variety of other roles available, including some at the more than 50 new fulfillment centers that have come online.
