Amazon.com Inc. said on Thursday it would hire 150,000 employees in full-time, seasonal, and part-time roles across its operations in the United States ahead of the upcoming holiday season.

The world’s largest online retailer, which hired the same number of workers last year September, said the new roles are for packing, picking, sorting, and shipping orders, and the workers will be eligible for a sign-on bonus of up to $3,000 in some locations.
