The news follows Amazon’s announcement to hire more than 100,000 seasonal jobs in the US and Canada to help deliver orders to customers this holiday season, including over 1,000 across Nevada.

“This is welcome news for the entire state of Nevada. Amazon continues to make investments to support local communities and has become a lifeline for those in our state who have experienced job loss during the pandemic. We are grateful for Amazon’s decision to expand operations across Nevada, creating thousands of career opportunities for our citizens.”

Steve Sisolak, Governor, State of Nevada

Amazon broke ground in October on an 855,000 square-foot fulfillment center in North Las Vegas, creating 1,500 new full-time jobs when it opens in 2021. The site will be the second fulfillment center in the state using Amazon Robotics to help associates pick, pack and ship smaller items to customers.

The new sites also include five delivery stations that power the last mile of Amazon’s order fulfillment process, creating hundreds of permanent full-time and part-time jobs.

This network of delivery stations will also offer entrepreneurs the opportunity to build their own small business delivering Amazon packages, and independent contractors the flexibility to be their own boss and create their own schedule delivering for Amazon Flex.

  • Merch by Amazon – opened in September 2020. This service enables brands, independent artists, and small businesses to upload custom content printed on-demand on apparel and electronics products when ordered by customers in Amazon’s stores.
