The open roles offer an average starting wage of $17 an hour, with $1,000 signing bonuses in many locations, plus an additional $100 for those new hires who show proof of COVID-19 vaccination.

“We look forward to hiring 75,000 associates across our fulfillment and transportation network,” said Alicia Boler Davis, Vice President of Global Customer Fulfillment at Amazon. “Working at Amazon also comes with an unwavering commitment to safety, especially as we continue to navigate a global pandemic. In addition to the great pay and robust benefits available to new hires starting on their first day, we’re offering a $100 benefit to any new hire who comes to Amazon already vaccinated for COVID-19.”
