Amazon's Massive Hiring Spree: 250,000 Workers for Holiday Season and Beyond
Amazon's fulfillment center in New Mexico is hiring 1,600 employees for the upcoming holiday season, offering both full-time positions with benefits and seasonal jobs. The company has a significant impact on the state's economy, contributing around $900 million. The positions primarily focus on the logistics network responsible for package delivery, and Amazon has invested over $1 billion in pay increases. The pay range starts from $17-28 per hour, depending on the position and shift. While Amazon expands its workforce, other U.S. retailers are hiring fewer people due to higher prices and a shift towards online shopping.
