Amazon announced the introduction of 5,000 new full-time jobs in the U.S. which pays 30 percent more than other retail jobs and includes additional employee benefits.

The U.S. unemployment rate stood at 7.6 percent for the month of July even after 195,000 jobs were added in June, according to a U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics report released earlier this month. Considering the still high unemployment rate, Amazon revealed in a statement that the giant retailer plans to do its bit to curb help solve the no-job crisis.

The company announced Monday that it has created more than 5,000 new full-time jobs in its U.S. fulfillment network to meet growing customer demand.

"We're hiring more than 5,000 people to join our team and help us continue to innovate and serve our customers," said Dave Clark, vice president of worldwide operations and customer service at Amazon in a press release. "We're focused on sustained innovation across Amazon and want to help our employees succeed-whether at Amazon or elsewhere-so we offer programs like Career Choice, where we'll pay for up to 95% of eligible employees' tuition regardless of whether the skills they learn are relevant to a career at Amazon."

Amazon reportedly pays its employees 30 percent more than what other retail stores pay. This is excluding the stock grants that full-time employees receive from the company. According to Amazon, these stock grants account for an addition of an average of 9% annual basic pay.

This is not the first time Amazon has created jobs in bulk. In 2012, the company opened eight fulfillment centers in the U.S., resulting in thousands of new jobs being added to communities nationwide.
