Amazon recently announced it plans to hire for 9,300 roles based in Arizona as part of its cyclical hiring push geared towards the holidays.
AZ is getting approximately 3.7% of Amazon's overall hiring spree, which is planned to include 250,000 positions throughout the United States.
Amazon is already one of the top employers in the state with 33,000 employees at its several facilities across Arizona, the majority of which are in the Phoenix area. The newest Amazon facility in the state is a 1.2 million-square-foot storage and distribution center at 8560 E. Elliot Road, just off the Loop 202 in Mesa.
The roles Amazon is hiring for are a mix of full-time, seasonal and part-time positions across the company's operations network, and include tasks such as packing, picking, sorting and shipping. Amazon said pay for these jobs will range between $17 and $28 per hour, with the average hourly pay being $20.50.
