Major online retailer to hire thousands in Nevada

Summary

Amazon is recruiting more than 2,500 full-time, part-time and seasonal workers across Nevada for the holiday season. Seasonal roles start at around $19 per hour on average; full- and part-time roles pay more than $23 per hour, with total compensation packages that can exceed $30 per hour. Openings range from fulfilment and loss prevention to software development, buying, HR and IT. Amazon says seasonal hires may be promoted into permanent roles and employees can access its Career Choice programme, which pre-pays college tuition and industry certifications usable at institutions such as UNLV and community colleges. The hiring drive follows Amazon’s nationwide plan to add 250,000 holiday jobs and comes after the company’s reported $17.6 billion investment in Nevada infrastructure and compensation, contributing roughly $16.1 billion to the state’s GDP.
