Amazon.com Inc. said on Thursday it would create more than 100,000 full-time jobs in the United States over the next 18 months.
Seattle-based Amazon said it plans to increase its full-time U.S.-based workforce to more than 280,000 by mid-2018 from 180,000 in 2016.
"These jobs are not just in our Seattle headquarters or in Silicon Valley - they're in our customer service network, fulfillment centers and other facilities in local communities throughout the country," CEO Jeff Bezos said in a statement.
Amazon had about 230,800 full-time and part-time employees as of Dec. 31, 2015.
