Amazon is hiring 100,000 new employees across the U.S. and Canada to fill both part and full-time positions, according to a Sept. 14 Bloomberg report.
New employees will be offered starting wages of at least $15 an hour as well as benefits and sign-on bonuses of as much as $1,000 in select cities. Amazon is also opening 100 new operations buildings this month across fulfillment centers, delivery stations and additional sites.
