The company’s Stockton, Sacramento, and Tracy fulfillment warehouses will see new-hires reach a newly-increased average salary of $17 per hour along with a limited-time $1,000 signing bonus for joining the company by June 20.
Amazon also announced that it would pay new-hires an additional $100 for being fully-vaccinated before joining the company.
Amazon’s increase in salary comes as low-skilled and unskilled labor sectors have had to contend with generous unemployment benefits due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The company also offers workers 401(K) matching, paid parental leave, and its college tuition pre-payment program.
