•  “Investing in this community pays off”

Online retailer Amazon.com Inc. (NASDQ: AMZN) says it is hiring for more than 200 full-time additional jobs at its 1.2 million-square-foot fulfillment center in Tracy in the Central Valley.

The new jobs are to meet growing customer demand, it says.

“Amazon’s investment in San Joaquin County is a strong vote of confidence in the strength of our workforce and the continuing development of our local economy,” says Assemblywoman Susan Eggman. “It’s a clear demonstration that investing in this community pays off.”

Amazon recently announced the lease of a fifth California fulfillment center in Redlands in Southern California. The company opened its first fulfillment center in the state less than two years ago. In addition to the Tracy location, Amazon’s other California fulfillment centers are located in Patterson, San Bernardino, and Moreno Valley.
