On Tuesday, local time, U.S. e-commerce company Amazon stated that it will recruit 100,000 temporary workers to meet the demand for the upcoming holiday shopping season. As Amazon has increased its staff during the epidemic, this number of recruits is the number of temporary workers recruited during the holiday shopping season last year. Half of the number.

Last year, Amazon hired 200,000 temporary workers to cope with the peak orders in the fourth quarter. But this year, during the epidemic, Amazon has already experienced a surge in demand similar to the holiday shopping season. A large number of consumers have turned to online orders, and Amazon has set a sales record.

In the hiring frenzy that began in March this year, Amazon added more than 175,000 employees, and later the company said that most of these employees will become regular employees. After that, Amazon last month promised to hire another 100,000 people for its logistics network.

In a blog post published on Tuesday, Amazon announced a temporary recruitment plan and said that it has promoted approximately 35,000 employees in the operations department this year. The company's share price has soared by more than 73% this year. (Chenchen)
