Amazon to hire over 100,000 in US www.nhk.or.jp
IT giant Amazon says it will hire more than 100,000 people over the next 18 months in the United States. The plan comes as President-elect Donald Trump is urging firms to increase US employment.
The online retailer said on Thursday that the new recruits will be full-time workers and directly employed by the company.
Amazon said that if its plan goes smoothly, its US-based workforce will exceed 280,000, making the company one of the largest employers in the country.
Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos says innovation has created hundreds of thousands of American jobs. He notes that the new jobs are not just in Silicon Valley but also in fulfillment centers and other Amazon facilities throughout the country.
During the election campaign, Trump criticized IT firms such as Amazon and Apple for not producing enough US jobs.
In an apparent response to Trump's stance, Ford Motor and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles recently announced plans to increase investment and employment in the US.
