Employees of the e-commerce company will be raking in the cash as Amazon introduces bonuses and pay rises to entice job seekers.

Amazon employees in the US can look forward to bigger paychecks as the company increases the average wage.

Back in May, the e-commerce platform paid their employees an average of $17 per hour but these new changes will see pays increase by more than $18.

While some may see the pay rise as a small jump, the increase will cost the company an extra six percent in payroll.

Aside from growing paychecks, all the rave surrounds the $3,000 cash bonuses some locations are signing their employees.

And for those who won’t see their wallets filled with instant cash, Dave Bozeman, Vice President of Amazon Delivery Services says they may be entitled to triple of what the company offered them three months prior.

Calling all job seekers

The e-commerce company is also looking to employ 125 thousand staff for their warehouse and transportation departments.

The roles on offer are both full-time and part-time, with the need for workers coming from the company’s need to keep up with consumer demand.

The changes come at a time where big companies work to lower the unemployment rate across the US. 

As financial assistant incentives expire across the country, Amazon is hoping that job seekers will use the opportunity to join their forever growing team.

They’re using their competitive pay rates to do this, as Amazon works to keep their top spot as the second-biggest private employer in the US.
