As the 2024 holiday shopping season approaches, Amazon announced that it’s hiring for 250,000 full-time, part-time, and seasonal roles across the U.S., including 3,000 positions in Kentucky and 2,000 in Greater Cincinnati.
Seasonal Amazon jobs offer competitive pay, flexible schedules, and the opportunity to be part of the bustling retail industry during its busiest time of year. Many of these seasonal roles also come with the potential to transition into regular, full-time employment after the holidays.
Amazon has already created more than 22,000 and 38,000 jobs respectively across Kentucky and Ohio. These jobs support communities of all sizes, from large cities like Cincinnati to small towns like Campbellsville. In Kentucky and Ohio, respectively, Amazon has invested $43 and $35 billion in the states since 2010, including infrastructure and compensation to its employees.
Earlier this month Amazon also announced its largest wage increase ever for hourly associates. Members of our front-line team will be getting at least an additional $1.50 per hour starting this month, which will bring their average base wage to more than $22 per hour.
“Our employees are the heart and soul of our operations, and we’re excited to welcome new members to the team,” said Karthik Bagavathi Pandian, Amazon Air Hub General Manager. “On top of Amazon Air Hub’s starting wage of $22.50—up to $25 depending on their shift —and industry-leading benefits on day one — we’re proud to provide a safe, innovative work environment where employees can grow their careers.”
