Amazon is hiring an additional 100,000 employees in the U.S. to meet the surge in demand of online shopping amid the coronavirus outbreak, the company said Monday.
The company is looking to add extra warehouse and delivery workers. It will raise pay for these employees by $2 per hour in the U.S., £2 per hour in the UK, and approximately 2 per hour in many EU countries. Amazon currently pays $15 per hour or more in some areas of the U.S.

They can’t ship stuff that is not in stock.
No comment from AOC’s constituents.
For your interest!
Them, Walmart and Chewy (although Chewy has to be orders of magnitude smaller) are going to have their supply chain management, etc - put to the test.
Great, the compost gets fitly rich at my expense.
The Chinese stuff might not be in stock, which is a plus, but I bet the American stuff...including our Mexican and Canadian trade partners in the new Trump plan - will be able to do it.
The other largest chain is metering products. The problem is not caused by “hoarders.” Regulated ordering is behind it, and it’s done very centrally and not from each store location.
Can you translate this into English?
The only thing missing from stores near me is toilet paper - ridiculously bought up by hysterics. Today, my local Publix had restocked beef, pork and poultry. There’s plenty of staples like canned goods, etc. and the fresh fruit and vegetables looked the same as usual. I just don’t understand any of this!
Oh shit.
Aha!! Cui bono!!
Yeah! Maybe she could destroy another 25000 jobs...
OR even 50000 with a bit more effort....
Gonna be PEAK all over again.
That's easy, people who have Schiff for brains are getting diarrhea.
I went to the local Home Depot.
Went to the Customer Services desk and asked if I could order TP.
YES!
And it will be in stock for pick up on Wednesday.
Limit 36 rolls.
Wipe Away!
Amazon is a godsend.
With their logistical capabilities, they can solve a lot of problems.
There are a lot of waiters and waitresses looking for jobs.
If you think they are gonna make windfall profits off this deal, buy the stock:
NASDAQ: AMZN
