The hunt’s on in Amazon—demands Austin workers

​AUSTIN – Seattle-based Amazon has quickly grown its corporate offices since launching in summer 2015.

It has more than doubled its workforce to 350 employees and is currently on the hunt for more than 100 new workers.

The retail giant already met promised job creation and investment totals in the state by 2015, helping Texas add hundreds of millions in sales tax revenue.

With the growth of the Austin office, and addition last month of a new Amazon fulfillment center in San Marcos slated to hire 1,000 workers, the company’s Texas employee count could hit or exceed the 4,000-worker mark this year.
