Amazon announced it plans to hire 250,000 full-time, part-time, and seasonal workers for the holiday season across its fulfillment and transportation networks in the United States. This marks the third consecutive year the company has targeted the same number of holiday hires. The announcement comes amid concerns that US shoppers may be more cautious with their spending this holiday season due to the impact of President Donald Trump's tariff policies. Regular full- and part-time employees will earn an average of $23 per hour with benefits, while seasonal workers will receive an average wage of over $19 per hour. No significant market reaction to the announcement was noted in the available reports.
