Amazon has announced that it has plans to hire more than 55,000 corporate and tech roles worldwide, with about 40,000 of those across 220-plus locations in the U.S. In addition, the e-commerce giant will recruit tens of thousands of hourly positions in Amazon’s Operations network. 

“We’re working hard every day to be the best place for people to have satisfying and fulfilling long-term careers. Amazon continues to grow quickly and relentlessly invent across many areas, and we’re hoping that Career Day gives both job seekers and current Amazon employees the support they need to learn new skills or reimagine their careers at Amazon or elsewhere," said Amazon CEO  Andy Jassy .

Amazon has hired over 450,000 people in the U.S. since the beginning of the pandemic, and is now the largest job creator in the U.S.
