Amazon plans to fill more than 3,000 full-time, part-time and seasonal jobs across Nevada this holiday season, and most of them will be in the Las Vegas valley, News 3 reported Tuesday afternoon.
The numbers
Of the 3,000-plus openings statewide, nearly 400 are in the Reno area, leaving the large majority for Southern Nevada. The hiring is part of a nationwide plan by the company to add about 300,000 workers for the holiday rush.
On pay, News 3 reported that eligible employees are getting a $1-per-hour raise, that minimum starting pay for full-time core operations roles is $20 an hour, and that average pay for those roles is nearly $24 an hour.
How to apply
Openings are listed at amazon.jobs. According to the report, new seasonal roles are posted every Friday, so if you don’t see a match today, check back at the end of the week.
What it means for locals and visitors
For locals, this is one of the larger seasonal hiring announcements of the fall, arriving as many Las Vegas workers look for extra income heading into the holidays. Because the openings include full-time and part-time roles, not only temporary ones, a seasonal shift can be a foot in the door.
For drivers and commuters, more warehouse shifts typically mean more early-morning and late-night traffic around the valley’s distribution centers through December, so leave a few extra minutes around shift-change times.
For visitors, nothing changes directly, but the holiday shipping rush is a good reminder to send gifts home early.
