"Although there is an anticipated increase in the demand and the volume, we feel like the 250,000 is the right number to continue to grow and advance with our operations," said Sandy Gordon, vice president of Global Operations Employee Experience at Amazon. 

 Amazon's investment in these roles has raised the average hourly pay to over $20.50 across its U.S. operations, making it an attractive option for job seekers during the holiday season.Strategic Importance: This hiring push is part of Amazon's strategy to improve its next-day delivery services, ensuring that it can meet the increased demand from consumers during the holidays.
