Amazon to hire 1,000 workers in Sacramento region for holiday retail season
Amazon plans to hire more than 1,000 seasonal workers in the greater Sacramento area, as retailers across the country brace for the impending holiday season.
The e-commerce company said it would hire full-time and part-time seasonal positions in Sacramento, Roseville and Folsom. The company has a broad footprint here, with more than 10 operations sites in the region.
The jobs will offer at least $18 per hour and health benefits.
The local hiring push is part of a national effort: Amazon plans to add 30,000 seasonal positions statewide and 250,000 across the U.S.
