Workers at Amazon’s warehouse and transportation hubs are set to receive a pay rise
The world’s biggest online retailer says wages will increase to over 19 dollars, which is up from 18.
It’s part of a plan to help the company attract and retain workers in a very tight labor market.
Of course, the peak shopping season is also getting underway.
Amazon says the price increase will cost its company nearly one billion dollar in the next year alone.
The minimum for workers on an hourly wage will stay at 15 dollars.
