Amazon’s holiday push will be accompanied by hiring more than 1,000 full-time and part-time employees in Fresno and Visalia, the company said Thursday.
The announcement follows the company’s decision to 150,000 seasonal employees across the country — including 20,000 in California.
While starting pay varies by city, all Amazon jobs in the U.S., including the seasonal roles, have an average starting hourly pay of more than $19 per hour, the company said.
