Amazon to hire 150,000 US workers for holiday shopping season
The Peninsula
Amazon.com Inc said on Monday it plans to hire 150,000 seasonal workers in the United States during the holiday period, as the e-commerce giant prepares for a shopping season expected to be characterized by high demand and supply headaches.
Last year, the company announced 100,000 seasonal jobs, after it had already boosted staffing through the pandemic.
Amazon's hiring plan comes during a major labor shortage and increased union activities in the United States that has led to companies increasing wages to attract workers during the crucial end-of-year shopping period.
