.Amazon has pledged to hire 100,000 US military veterans and military spouses by 2024. This coming after prior goals have been surpassed early. 'We value the unique skills and experience that the military community brings,' and Amazon spokesman said.
It had pledged in years prior to hire 25,000 by 2021 but exceeded the pledge and currently employs 40,000, according to an Amazon press release. Employees are guaranteed $15 per hour and training for higher-paying fields including robotics, cloud computing, and related fields.
“Amazon is focused on recruiting and developing military talent with training programs specifically designed to help veterans transition into roles in the private sector,” John Quintas, Amazon’s director of global military affairs, said in a statement. “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.
