The retail giant released a statement that it has pledged to hire over 100,000 U.S. military veterans and military spouses over the next three years.
The company says it outpaced its original goal to hire 25,000 veterans and family members by 2021, now employing 40,000 such workers.
“Amazon is focused on recruiting and developing military talent with training programs specifically designed to help veterans transition into roles in the private sector,” said John Quintas, Amazon’s director of global military affairs, in a statement released by the company. “We value the unique skills and experience that the military community brings—and our new hiring commitment will expand the impact that military members currently have on every single business across the company.”
