Amazon is offering full-time employment to 125,000 of the temporary workers it hired since March to deal with the massive increase in consumer demand for product delivery amidst the pandemic.
“In March, we announced the hiring of 175,000 roles across our operations network to help provide for our communities and keep as many people as possible working during the COVID-19 pandemic. Like other companies, we hired these individuals for seasonal roles to meet a surge in demand and, for many, there was the hope of returning back to their previous companies once states began to re-open,” staff said in a COVID-19 blog post on May 28.
