    SEATTLE (AP) — Amazon.com Inc. says it's hiring 50,000 temporary workers at order-fulfillment centers across the U.S. this holiday season.

    The Seattle-based online retailer says it expects "thousands" of those it hires to stay on full time.

    Full-time workers get stock grants and benefits. The company says its full-time employees make 30 percent more than traditional retail employees. It says stock grants have added an average 9 percent to base pay over the last five years.

    Tuesday's announcement follows hiring announcements from major retailers.
    Among those, Macy's Inc. plans to hire 80,000 seasonal workers, while Wal-Mart Stores Inc. plans to add 50,000. Toys R Us Inc. plans to hire 45,000 seasonal workers this year.

    It is like someone giving you a million dollars right before ripping it away from you.

    That's right. These "conservatives" would rather see unemployment spike and the economy in shambles than see the prez re-elected.
