Amazon to hire 100,000 US veterans and military spouses by 2024

Amazon today announced plans to hire more than 100,000 US veterans and military spouses by 2024.

Amazon currently employs more than 40,000 veterans and military spouses, surpassing its 2016 Joining Forces pledge to hire 25,000 veterans and military spouses by 2021.

The company, which currently has more than 35,000 open positions in the US, expects to hire more than 16,000 military spouses under the new plan.

“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. “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.”
