SEATTLE — Just days after the popular online retailer said it would be hiring 33,000 corporate and technology workers, Amazon announced early Monday it plans to hire an additional 100,000 full- and part-time workers in the United States and Canada.
In a news release, the company said the jobs pay at least $15 an hour, and new hires in certain cities could be offered up to a $1,000 sign-on bonus. Full-time workers also are eligible for more benefits, including health, vision and dental insurance; a 401(k) with 50% company match; 20 weeks of paid parental leave; and tuition assistance, the release said.
“We are opening 100 buildings this month alone across new fulfillment and sortation centers, delivery stations and other sites,” Dave Clark, Amazon’s senior vice president of worldwide operations, said in a statement.
Amazon said the states with the most jobs available are Arizona, California, Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Utah, Washington and Wisconsin.
