If the company can fill these roles, in addition to the 40,000 corporate and tech jobs it announced two weeks ago, it would set Amazon up to exceed one million employees.

This year alone, Amazon has opened 250 new delivery stations, air hubs and fulfillment centers, with more planned for next year. With these growing numbers, Amazon has reportedly become the largest job creator in the U.S.

Looking for a Seamless Sale? Call Wilkerson

After almost 60 years in business, Breakiron Jewelers in Erie, Pennsylvania, was closing its doors. And the store’s owner, Linda Breakiron, was ready for it. She had run the store as its sole owner since the beginning of the millennium and was looking forward to a change. Of course, she called Wilkerson. Breakiron talked to other jewelers who had used Wilkerson and was satisfied with their response. “They always had positive feedback,” she recalls. With the sales, marketing and even additional inventory that Wilkerson provided, Breakiron insists she could never have accomplished her going-out-of-business sale without Wilkerson’s help. She’s now ready for the journey ahead, but looking back, she’d be sure to recommend Wilkerson. “They just made the whole process very seamless.”
