The hiring expansion comes at a time when the online shopping and shipping giant typically starts ramping up for the holiday season. The company shared plans earlier this week to add employees in in full-time, part-time, and seasonal roles nationwide.

Earlier this year, Amazon laid off thousands of workers in the devices organization, retail division, and human resources divisions. The 250,000 jobs Amazon is filling now will largely work in fulfillment centers and transportation roles nationwide, the company said.

Wage Increases

Amazon also revealed plans to increase wages for transportation and customer fulfillment positions, with the company expecting to spend $1.3 billion this year to increase the average pay to $20.50 per hour.

According to Amazon, the company has spent $10 billion over the last five years to increase salaries.
