Amazon announced it will hire 250,000 full-time, part-time, and seasonal employees across its U.S. fulfillment and transportation network for the 2025 holiday season, with job openings extending to communities throughout Georgia. The announcement was made on the company’s website.
According to Amazon’s October 13, 2025 announcement, the holiday season is described as “one of the most exciting times at Amazon—both because of the joy our customers feel, and because it’s when we welcome thousands of new teammates into our network.” The company emphasizes that these roles span its U.S. fulfillment and transportation network and include rural communities, broadening employment access beyond metropolitan areas. Seasonal, part-time, and full-time positions will be posted weekly from October through December, with many roles filling quickly due to high demand among job-seekers.
The official announcement states that regular full- and part-time employees earn an average of $23 per hour with benefits, while seasonal employees can earn an average of over $19 per hour. Amazon is investing over $1 billion to raise pay and lower health-care costs for U.S. fulfillment and transportation employees. When elected benefits are included, average total compensation now exceeds $30 per hour. Seasonal roles are posted weekly between October and December, providing job-seekers regular access to open positions across their network.

The article explains that Amazon’s job postings extend to rural locations as well as major cities, indicating an intentional spread of opportunities beyond urban hubs. It also highlights that many roles fill rapidly—sometimes within minutes—demonstrating both the popularity of these positions and the strength of Amazon’s hiring infrastructure.
