The raises will take effect this month for the hundreds of thousands of employees working for Amazon’s sprawling logistics operation, boosting the average base wage to more than $22 an hour, the company said in a blog post on Wednesday. 

Workers will receive Prime, Amazon’s speedy shipping and video subscription service, beginning “early next year,” the company said.
