Amazon is making a push to hire over100-thousand military veterans and spouses over the next three years.

Currently, the Amarillo area is running below the state average in unemployment rate, still many Amarillo veterans are trying to make it after military life.

Every job at Amazon will be available from Amazon web services to eCommerce to the devices team.

Some other roles include corporate positions, high end tech roles and all field operation positions.

As the launch of the new facility approaches, you can expect Amazon to start hiring about eight weeks before the opening and will continue to hire in phases after as well..
