Amazon Will Now Cover 100% Of College Tuition For It's Employees

From CNBC:

"Amazon said Thursday it will offer to pay 100% of college tuition for its 750,000 U.S. hourly employees.
The e-commerce giant is following the lead of other large U.S. companies that are dangling perks such as education benefits or more pay to woo workers in a tight job market.
Starting in January, Amazon said, it will cover the cost of college tuition, fees and textbooks for hourly employees in its operations network after 90 days of employment. It will also begin covering high school diploma programs, GEDs and English as a second language certifications for employees.
