Amazon said it would hire another 125,000 employees in its logistics facilities, in some states in the U.S.
The roles offered at warehouses and package sorting centers will have an average pay of $18 an hour and up to $22.50 an hour in some locations.
Dave Clark, Amazon's chief executive for the e-commerce company’s worldwide consumer division, said in a statement that the company is offering "opportunities for people from a range of backgrounds, from furloughed workers to former military personnel."
Earlier this month, Amazon had announced plans to hire for more than 40,000 corporate and technology roles throughout the U.S. as well as thousands of operations roles during its virtual career fair which will be held on Wednesday.
