Amazon says the company will be hiring more than 70,000 full-time seasonal workers across its U.S. fulfillment centers this holiday season, to meet an estimated 40 percent spike in customer demand.
On average, seasonal employees earn 94 percent of Amazon fulfillment center employee starting wages and are eligible for health care benefits. In 2012, Amazon converted thousands of seasonal employees into regular, full-time roles after the holidays, and the retail behemoth says it expects to do the same this year.
Since the start of the financial recession in September 2008, Amazon has added more than 40,000 jobs in the U.S.
