Amazon would hire 100,000 people

Amazon plans to hire 100,000 people and raise workers’ wages worldwide. The company plans to increase staff salaries by 2 USD in the US, by 2 pounds in the UK and by 2 euros in several EU countries.

The company is opening 100,000 new full-time and part-time positions in the United States to keep up with the increased demand for home delivery.

“We are seeing a significant increase in demand, which means there will be unprecedented demand for jobs this year,” the company said in a statement. The company expects a lot of people to become unemployed due to the epidemic and want to absorb them, at least temporarily. (index)
