Amazon has announced plans to hire 100,000 workers in the United States and Canada, amid an online shopping boom fueled by the pandemic.
The Seattle-based e-commerce giant said in a statement on Sept. 14 it seeks to fill full- and part-time positions “as we expand our footprint,” with the new jobs paying at least $15 an hour. The company is also offering “industry-leading benefits,” including health and dental insurance, and paid parental leave for up to 20 weeks.
