If you’re in need of a job for the holiday season, Amazon might be the answer.

The company announced plans to create 8,500 seasonal positions in New York to help with their holiday rush as part of a broader initiative to hire 250,000 employees nationwide.

Specifically, the company is looking to fill 1,600 seasonal jobs in Rochester as well as 100 roles at their rural delivery stations in Conklin and Granville, according to an Amazon spokesperson.

“We find that our seasonal roles are really popular — often filling up within minutes of being posted — because they meet different needs for so many different people,” an Oct. 13 news release said. “Seasonal roles offer great pay, flexible schedules, and the chance to be a part of a team that makes a real difference during the holidays.”

Here’s what to know.

Where are New York’s Amazon facilities?

This Amazon Fulfillment Center is located in Gates.

There are several Amazon fulfillment centers and delivery stations throughout New York state, including, but not limited to, the following:

  • A 2.6 million-square-foot robotics fulfillment center in Gates, which opened in 2024 and employs over 2,000 people.

  • Two “last-mile” delivery stations in Greece and Henrietta that handle final delivery to customers.

  • A $75 million sortation center in Ogden, which opened last month.

  • A fulfillment center on Staten Island.

  • A 66,000-square-foot distribution facility in Conklin.

  • A 150,000-square-foot delivery station in Westchester.

  • A two-building delivery station in Blauvelt that encompasses around 174,000 square feet.

  • An over 1 million-square-foot, $72 million fulfillment center in Montgomery.

  • A delivery station in Granville.

How much could you earn?

While regular full- and part-time employees earn an average of $23 per hour with benefits, seasonal employees receive an average wage of over $19 per hour, Amazon says.
