Amazon is raising starting wages for some workers and giving all U.S. employees new grocery discounts and access to a banking benefit.
Starting September 27, full-time U.S. employees in Amazon’s core operations roles will earn at least $20 an hour, a $1 increase, the company announced Wednesday. The roles include workers who pick, pack and sort customer orders, as well as those involved in transporting them. Many of the positions do not require prior experience.
