　　Amazon Just Announced That It Is Hiring 3,000 New Work from Home Employees (But There's a Catch)

　　亚马逊刚刚宣布要新招聘3000名在家工作的员工(但是有个问题)

　　It's no secret that Amazon has been posting strong growth numbers for some time. Annual revenue for 2018 was $232.9 billion -- an increase of 30.9 percent over the 2017 total of $177.9 billion.

　　亚马逊发布强劲的增长数据已经不是什么秘密了。2018年全年收入2329亿美元，比2017年1779亿美元增长30.9%。

　　As a result, the company has had to hire lots of employees to keep up -- more than 600,000 as of the end of 2018. However, most of these employees work in company facilities.

　　因此，该公司不得不雇佣大量员工来跟上发展——2018年底员工人数已超过60万。然而，这些员工大多在公司工作。

　　That is, until Amazon posted a new job listing last week for 3,000 work from home seasonal customer service associates.

　　也就是说，直到亚马逊上周发布了一份新的岗位列表，要招聘3000名在家工作的季节性客户服务助理。

　　If you've always wanted to work for Amazon, but in the comfort of your own home, this is your chance.

　　如果你一直想为亚马逊工作，但是想在自己舒适的家中，这是你的机会。

　　In addition, the job pays $15.00 an hour. And although you can expect to work an average of 20-29 hours per week, this might sometimes increase up to 60 hours a week (overtime is paid at 1.5x base rate).

　　此外，这份工作的工资是每小时15美元。尽管你希望每周平均工作20-29个小时，但有时可能会增加到每周60个小时(加班工资是基本工资的1.5倍)。

　　You'll also be eligible for a health care coverage plan after 90 days of employment and an employee discount.

　　你还会在工作90天后有资格享受医疗保险计划，以及享受员工折扣。

　　Sound good so far?

　　到目前为止听起来不错吧?

　　There's just one catch, and it's a pretty big one. You must live in one of the following states: Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi , Missouri, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, Wisconsin, Wyoming.

　　只有一个问题，而且是一个相当大的问题。你必须居住在以下州之一：阿拉巴马州、亚利桑那州、阿肯色州、爱荷华州、堪萨斯州、路易斯安那州、密西西比州、密苏里州、内布拉斯加州、新墨西哥州、北达科他州、俄克拉荷马州、南达科他州、田纳西州、得克萨斯州、华盛顿州、威斯康星州、怀俄明州。
