That’s great news! Amazon has indeed announced a pay increase for its warehouse workers, upping the average pay rate for hourly workers in the United States to more than $18 per hour. This is a part of their ongoing efforts to attract and retain talent amid labor shortages.
In addition, Amazon warehouse workers will also be entitled to a free Amazon Prime membership which offers a range of benefits such as free two-day shipping on millions of items, access to streaming of thousands of movies, TV shows, and music, exclusive shopping deals, and more.
These changes reflect Amazon’s focus on elevating the working conditions and benefits for their employees.
