Amazon.com Inc. is bulking up for the winter — or, at least, for the holidays.

Its holiday order: The online behemoth needs over 120,000 seasonal workers across its U.S. fulfillment center network, which includes more than 3,500 seasonal positions in Pennsylvania that involve picking, packing and shipping customer orders.

In its announcement Thursday, the company did not breakdown how many of those seasonal jobs — part-time roles that can transition into regular, full-time gigs after the holidays — are in the Lehigh Valley, where Amazon has become one of the area’s largest employers just seven years after opening its first facility here.

As it is already, Amazon has 3,500 full-time associates in the Lehigh Valley, a company spokesperson said. That includes 1,500 at its facility in Palmer Township, which houses large customer items such as kayaks, patio furniture and bicycles.

At its two-warehouse Breinigsville complex, the spokesperson said, Amazon has 2,000 associates: 1,500 at a sortable facility for smaller items such as books, iPhone cases and headphones, and another 500 at a second facility that houses large items.

In the Lehigh Valley, Amazon recently increased its starting wage for full-time warehouse associates to $13.05 to $14.05 an hour, though it was unclear whether that new hourly rate also applies to seasonal jobs. The basic qualifications for a warehouse job at Amazon are being at least 18 years old and having a high school diploma or equivalent.

The company’s presence in the Lehigh Valley is just a portion of the more than 75 fulfillment centers that Amazon has across the country, which employ a total of more than 125,000 full-time employees. Last holiday season, Amazon also hired more than 120,000 seasonal associates — thousands of whom transitioned to full-time roles afterward.
