Amazon said on Tuesday that it would raise its minimum wage to $15 an hour for all US workers starting November 1.

The change will affect more than 250,000 Amazon employees, including part-time workers and those hired through temp agencies, the company said.

The impact is likely to be felt the most at Amazon's warehouses, where many of the company's lowest-paid positions are concentrated.

A video of the moment that Clark posted on Twitter shows workers shouting, cheering, and jumping in response.
