From May 2019 to May 2024

Amazon.com Inc. on Thursday said the online retail giant plans to create more than 100,000 full-time jobs in the U.S. by mid-2018, becoming the latest company to promise job creation during president-elect Donald Trump's first term.
The additional jobs would swell Amazon's U.S. workforce, which stood at 180,000 last year. The Seattle-based company said that many of the new jobs will be at already announced warehouses under construction in Texas, California, Florida, New Jersey and elsewhere.
"Innovation is one of our guiding principles at Amazon, and it's created hundreds of thousands of American jobs," said Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos. He added that some of the new jobs would be in areas such as cloud technology, machine learning, and advanced logistics.
Amazon's announcement follows a meeting between Mr. Trump and Silicon Valley executives last month, in which he struck a conciliatory tone after months of criticism of the companies on the campaign trail.
