Amazon Says It Will Create 80,000 Seasonal Jobs This Holiday

Amazon will create 80,000 seasonal jobs for its 65 U.S. fulfillment and sorting centers this holiday season and expects, like last year, to convert thousands of them into "regular, full-time roles" after the holidays, the company said Thursday (http://bit.ly/1vAKFrt). The sorting centers, which are new, are "fueling a range of innovations like Sunday delivery, later cut-off ordering times for customers and the ability to control packages deeper into the delivery process," Amazon said in a news release.
