Amazon plans to hire 100,000 staff in US and Canada  

Amazon is opening 100 new warehouse and operations sites this month.

Amazon said it is recruiting 100,000 more workers — the fourth hiring spree it has announced for the US this year — to keep pace with e-commerce demand that jumped during the pandemic.

The world’s biggest online retailer said the positions are for full- and part-time work in its home country and Canada, and these will include roles at 100 new warehouse and operations sites it is opening this month. The Seattle-based company employed 876,800 people as of the end of June, excluding contractors and temporary personnel.
