Amazon.com Inc. (Seattle) is planning to hire 125,000 workers for its fulfillment and transportation divisions, according to Fortune. 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.
