Amazon.com Inc. has announced an increase in average starting pay for warehouse workers to $22 per hour, which includes a significant investment of over $2.2 billion aimed at supporting its workforce. This plan reflects the company’s strategy to enhance worker satisfaction and maintain its position as one of the largest private employers in the U.S., highlighting the competitive nature of employment in the retail logistics sector.
In addition to the pay increase, Amazon is offering warehouse workers a free membership to Amazon Prime, valued at $139 a year. This membership not only provides benefits such as free delivery and special sales but also encourages higher spending on Amazon, providing potential dual benefits for the company: improved employee satisfaction alongside increased sales revenue from these newly incentivized consumers.
