Amazon has announced that it will increase wages for its over 800,000 warehouse and transportation workers in the US by at least $1.50 an hour, bringing the average starting wage to over $22 per hour. In addition, employees will receive free Amazon Prime memberships, valued at $139 annually. This move is part of a broader trend in the tight labor market for logistics workers as online shopping continues to rise, despite challenges related to safety and working conditions in warehouses.
