Amazon increases its minimum hourly pay by $1 to $20 for certain operations workers at its US facilities, according to reports. The change applies across the board to workers in roles such as packing and shipping orders.
The outlets describe the adjustment as part of a broader wage update and say it is tied to specific job categories involved in day-to-day fulfillment. NDTV adds that, with the $1 increase, the average pay for these employees is expected to rise to nearly $24 per hour. Channel NewsAsia characterizes the increase as affecting Amazon’s operations workers in the US, emphasizing the new floor at $20 per hour.
While both sources align on the core figures—an across-the-board $1 raise and a $20 minimum for US operations workers—coverage differs in focus, with one outlet highlighting the minimum rate and the other citing projected average earnings. Both reports frame the move as a pay increase for fulfillment-related staff.
