Amazon to add 6,600 jobs in Tennessee

Less than two weeks after launching its aircraft cargo service at Nashville International Airport, Amazon has announced it will add 6,600 full- and part-time logistics jobs across the seven Amazon fulfillment warehouses in Tennessee by Jan. 1.

Hiring is already underway for the fulfillment and transportation positions. Wages for the jobs start at $18 on average and reach up to $22.50 per hour in some locations, according to a release. The company will also offer up to $3,000 in signing bonuses for both full- and part-time employees at specific sites, in addition to tuition benefits.
