Jobs announcement on tap from Amazon

Staff Tampa Bay Business Journal

Amazon is expected to announce plans to hire 5,000 workers for 17 fulfillment centers.

The new hires are part of the company?s strategy to build out its system of distribution centers more quickly and cheaply deliver orders to consumers, The Washington Post reported.

Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) is expected to make the announcement Monday, the Post reported. The jobs include tasks such as picking items from warehouse shelves, packing them for delivery and operating technology to streamline operations.

The report did not discuss the locations of the jobs. Amazon reportedly has been considering sites in the Tampa Bay area for a 1 million-square-foot distribution center, and both Hillsborough and Polk counties have approved financial incentives to lure the online retailer.
