It seems like a dream to hear this but Amazon has reported that they will be going on a major hiring spree.
The retailer announced last 14 September that it is looking to fill 125,000 jobs in its fulfillment and transportation divisions. The news comes almost two weeks after Amazon announced plans to fill 40,000 corporate and tech jobs across 220 locations in the U.S.
The positions offer average starting pay of US$ 18 per hour and up (with some jobs paying US$ 22.50 per hour), and select locations will offer sign-on bonuses of up to US$ 3,000. Full-time employees will also receive health coverage as of their first day on the job, a 401(k) plan with a company match, and up to 20 weeks of paid parental leave.

The announcement comes one day ahead of Amazon's annual career day—and should the company succeed in filling these positions (as well as the previous 40,000), it will put them on track to exceed 1 million employees. Amazon announced in its most recent quarterly results that it had 950,000 workers.
"Whether you're looking for a short-term job to make money for the holidays or a long-term career, you're welcome here, and we look forward to having you on our team," said Dave Clark, CEO of Worldwide Consumer at Amazon in a statement.
Amazon has opened 250 new fulfillment centers, air hubs, and delivery stations this year and plans to open 100 additional buildings in this month alone. The company says it has hired 450,000 people since the start of the pandemic and is now the largest job creator in the U.S.
