Amazon plans to hire an additional 100,000 full- and part-time workers across its operations network in the US and Canada to help keep up with the surging demand for its e-commerce services during the pandemic.
In Essex County, unemployment surged to more than 20 percent in July due to COVID-19's economic fallout. "And that's where they get picked up by our delivery service providers for delivery direct to the customer", said Lighty.

The fulfillment center, at 6802 W Old Bingham Highway, opened a month ago and already employs about 800 people, but hundreds of new opportunities will soon be available there. "This announcement today really supports our overall Amazon operations fulfillment network", said Racheal Lighty, an Amazon spokesperson.
Nationally, Dave Clark, senior vice president of worldwide operations at Amazon, said 100 buildings this month alone were opened including new fulfillment and sortation centers, delivery stations, and air hubs.

Amazon has already opened over 75 new fulfilment, sortation centers, regional air hubs, and delivery stations in the US and Canada in 2020 to serve customers.
Either way, Amazon's latest effort, revealed Monday, dwarfs its previous campaign to enlist 3,500 tech and office workers in August, upped to 33,000 workers in September across Denver, New York, Phoenix and Seattle.
"Amazon is incredibly proud to call New Jersey home", she said. Lighty said the company's greatest need is in its fulfillment centers, where employees pack and ship customer orders. However, labor activists said the listing suggests Amazon is trying to prevent workers from collective bargaining, which drew attention earlier in the year after some employees protested conditions in warehouses that they said put them at risk of catching the coronavirus. Our expansion also comes with an unwavering commitment to safety.
Employees new to the company have completed more than 1.2 million hours of safety training, Clark added, with more than 500,000 additional hours expected.
