Amazon Scheduled to Create 100,000 New Jobs in the Next 18 Months

📅 January 17, 2017 - Amazon.com Inc. has introduced plans to create more than 100,000 new jobs for those in the United States over the next 18 months. President-elect Donald Trump has pushed the company to employ more Americans, which has helped to lead to this plan.

More jobs from Amazon isn't a huge surprise considering the growth into many categories, including groceries, video, fashion and hardware. However, this move could help to appease Trump since he has tangled with Jeff Bezos, the CEO of Amazon during his campaign.
