Amazon Plans To Hire 80,000 Temps For Holidays

Seattle-based online retailer Amazon.com said late Wednesday evening that it is planning to hire 80,000 seasonal positions across its fulfillment and sorting centers during the holiday season, as part of its efforts to meet customer demand. Those employees pick and place products ordered on the site into boxes for delivery to consumers. According to Amazon, it now has more than 50 fulfillment centers in the U.S., and plans to open up fifteen more "sortation centers" by the end of the year.
