Amazon has boosted minimum pay for U.S. full-time core operations staff to $20 per hour. The $1-per-hour increase applies to the e-commerce company's front-line workers, who handle tasks like sorting, packing and transporting orders.

The wage increase targets employees across Amazon's fulfillment and logistics network in the United States.

The raise reflects ongoing competitive pressures in the labor market and Amazon's efforts to retain front-line workforce amid growing demand for e-commerce fulfillment operations.
