Amazon is raising the minimum wage for its full-time operations workers in the United States to $20 per hour, an increase of $1 from the previous rate, according to a report by CNBC.
The pay increase applies to operations employees, a workforce category that includes staff working in Amazon's warehouses and fulfillment network across the country, CNBC reported.
Details on the timing of the wage increase, the total number of workers affected, and any additional benefit changes were not specified in the available reporting. CNBC did not immediately provide further comment from Amazon on the decision.
