Amazon continues to provide opportunities for full-time and
part-time jobs in logistics as it expands its footprint to better
serve in communities where they live. Today the company announced
that it is providing an additional 7,500 local employment
opportunities throughout Arizona on top of the 40,000 corporate and
technology jobs recently announced. The roles in fulfillment and
transportation offer an average starting wage of more than $18 per
hour—and up to $22.50 per hour in some locations. The company also
provides full-time employees comprehensive benefits from day one,
worth an additional $3.50 per hour. They include health, vision,
and dental insurance, 401(k) with 50% company match, up to 20 weeks
paid parental leave, and Amazon's Career Choice program, in which
the company will pay full college tuition for its front-line
employees as part of $1.2 billion investment to expand education
and skills training benefits for its U.S. workforce.
In 2021, Amazon opened a number of sites including new
fulfillment and sortation centers as well as delivery stations in
Arizona and the company will continues to grow its operating
presence in the state. These are investments that can unlock
opportunity, helping to revitalize cities and neighborhoods. Since
the beginning of the pandemic, Amazon has hired over 450,000 people
in the U.S., and one-in-10 hourly employees who have been with the
company six months or longer have been promoted. Amazon is now the
largest job creator in the U.S. and was recently named by LinkedIn
as the No. 1 company where Americans want to work and develop their
careers.
"We are proud to offer opportunities for people from a range of
backgrounds, from furloughed workers to former military personnel,"
said Dave Clark, CEO Worldwide Consumer at Amazon. "We take our
responsibility as an employer seriously and want our employees to
succeed and thrive. That's why we offer an average starting wage of
over $18 per hour, provide a great range of comprehensive
benefits—including health care coverage, parental leave, career
training, and ways to save for the future—and have a team of
thousands working to build a safe and inclusive work environment.
Whether you're looking for a short-term job to make money for the
holidays or a long-term career, you're welcome here, and we look
forward to having you on our team."
Jobs are available in several cities and towns across Arizona.

In addition to hiring employees for its operations, Amazon is
also supporting the growth of small and medium-sized businesses and
helping to create tens of thousands of additional jobs, including
many in Arizona. Amazon works with more than 2,500 Delivery Service
Partners, enabling these aspiring entrepreneurs to build their own
delivery companies by leveraging Amazon's experience in operations
and logistics. These partners plan to hire more than 50,000
delivery associates by the end of the year. Interested applicants
