KEY POINTS

-- Amazon announced Wednesday it will raise wages between 50 cents and $3 an hour for more than half a million of its U.S. operations employees.

Amazon announced Wednesday it will give more than 500,000 workers a raise.

Amazon will hike pay by at least 50 cents to up to $3 an hour for over half a million employees, Darcie Henry, vice president of global HR for Amazon, said in a blog post on the company’s website. Amazon will spend more than $1 billion on incremental pay for these workers, Henry said.

The pay raises will start to take effect in mid-May through early June of this year, Henry said.

In 2018, following pressure from politicians and worker advocacy groups, Amazon raised its minimum wage to $15 an hour for all U.S. employees.

The e-commerce giant is the country’s second-largest private employer in the U.S., behind retail rival Walmart, with more than 800,000 employees nationwide.
