Amazon announces U.S. hiring spree
Amazon.com Inc (AMZN.O) on Thursday said it plans to create more than 100,000 jobs in the United States, from software development to warehouse work, becoming the latest company to boast a hiring spree since Donald Trump won the U.S. presidential election in November.
The world's largest online retailer will grow its full-time U.S. workforce by more than 50 percent to over 280,000 in the next 18 months, it said in a press release.
Amazon is spending heavily on new warehouses so it can stock goods closer to customers and fulfill orders quickly and cheaply. The new hires, from Florida to Texas and California, will be key to the company's promise of two-day shipping to members of its Amazon Prime shopping club, which has given it an edge over rivals.
BGC Partners analyst Colin Gillis said hiring was expected. "Amazon continues to meaningfully grow above e-commerce rates and continues to take share from traditional retailers," he said.
The e-commerce giant said in October it would add 26 fulfillment centers in 2016, mostly in North America. More are under construction.

Not clear Amazon is going to create net jobs in our economy. It competes with traditional retail businesses that are losing jobs.

MACYs just closed up a lot of stores for example, SEARS too.

We just have to go along with it and keep faith in growth of productivity.

 

[ColonelAngus]

Nope. Everything will be awful for the next 8 years and we are all going to die!

Trump is going to intern and execute every living woman, minority, and homosexual starting on January 21st. I believe the SNOWFLAKES! EVERYTHING THEY SAID IS TRUE! TRUMP IS HITLER! LITERALLY....HE IS HITLER REINCARNATED!

I have to go with this, Amazon may be akin to Walmart...the nations largest employer that has of course wiped out 100,000's of small businesses across America

Trump would take credit for Pence's erection.

 

[The Original Tree]

How many Billions of Dollars have US businesses now committed to invest in The US so far because of Trump?
And he has not even been sworn in to office yet. How many jobs has he personally created BEFORE becoming President? I'd like to know that number.
The number of people he employs plus the number of jobs promised already to be coming back in to the US has to be astounding for such a short time.

It has nothing to do with Obama or Trump. They have been planning on expanding their warehouses across the country for quite a few years now. As stated in the OP it's about providing faster shipping to customers.

When you see large companies like Amazon and Costco investing in big money like that you know which direction the economy is headed.
