NEW YORK, Sept 14 — Amazon.com Inc has increased its average starting wage in the United States to more than US$18 (RM74) an hour and plans to hire another 125,000 warehouse and transportation workers, an executive told Reuters. The world’s largest online retailer has raised pay from around...

“It’s a tight labour market, and we’ve seen some of that as the entire industry is seeing,” explained Bozeman, who spoke in an interview at a delivery station in Tukwila, Washington.

He said that Amazon would maintain its US$15 an hour base pay. Benefits like funding college tuition for workers and starting wages as high as US$22.50 in some areas distinguished the online retailer from peers, he said. Amazon is hiring workers to help run 100 logistics facilities launching this month in the United States, on top of more than 250 that opened earlier this year. Some workers will aid in Amazon’s long-in-the-works effort to roll out one-day delivery for Prime loyalty club members.

“The 125,000 is really to help us keep up with our growth,” said Bozeman, who added that only a minority of jobs were to address attrition. Amazon said it would fill the roles, which are full and part-time, as quickly as possible but did not offer a timeline. Nicole Bilich, a human resources manager, said competitive pay has brought in applicants for her Stockton, California warehouse, which Amazon plans to launch in October. But hiring 2,200 people in three to four months is no simple matter.Earlier this month, Amazon CEO Andy JassyYou May Also Like
