Amazon Offers Permanent Jobs To 125K COVID-19 Temporary Hires
Amazon workers arrive at the company’s centre in Bretigny-sur-Orge on May 19, 2020 as Amazon France partially reopens amid the pandemic of the novel coronavirus . Eric PIERMONT / AFPAmazon on Thursday said it is offering permanent jobs to 125,000 of the temporary workers hired to handle surging use of its online shopping service due to the pandemic.
“Like other companies, we hired these individuals for seasonal roles to meet a surge in demand and, for many, there was the hope of returning back to their previous companies once states began to reopen,” Amazon said in a blog post. The move comes as Amazon’s role in delivering goods for consumers facing lockdowns and restrictions around the world, through its e-commerce platform as well as its grocery operations, grows.
Amazon’s move came on a day when the US government said an additional 2.1 million Americans filed for unemployment benefits, bringing the total to more than 40 million since March.
