Amazon To Hire 20% More Holiday Workers To Meet Growing Demand (bloomberg.com)

Amazon.com is hiring 20 percent more seasonal workers this year, suggesting it anticipates a strong holiday season. Bloomberg reports: The e-commerce giant will add 120,000 seasonal positions, up from 100,000 last year, "to support growing customer demand," said Mike Roth, vice president of customer fulfillment, in a statement. The workers will fill spots in fulfillment and sorting centers and at customer service sites in the U.S. Last year more than 14,000 seasonal employees were shifted to full-time roles after the holidays and the company expects to increase that number this year, Roth said.

Why unemployment rates look good

And there you have it America, All of those full time, year round, fully vested pensions and 401k jobs with full health benefits that raised families of 7 throughout the 1960's. Now in the 2010's we have replaced them all with part time seasonal work with Amazon, UPS, USPS, Target, Walmart, and Uber. If we call this "employment" then we're truly in a state of denial. Until we FACE THE FACT that we have 325 Million Americans and about 70 million decent jobs we will never understand REALITY. Let's at the very least FACE THE FACTS and stop putting lipstick on pigs.
