ONLINE retail giant Amazon has created 2,200 jobs in Spain this year alone – and these are not expected to be the end of the story.
According to the firm, which has logistics centres in Madrid and Barcelona and which set up its Amazon.es branch in 2011, new positions created ranged from entry-level operations through to software developers.
Although many new employments were in packaging and processing, others included software engineering, data science and automatic learning, as well as Cloud experts for Amazon Web Services.
A new AWS Europe (Spain) Region will be in operation between the end of 2022 and the beginning of 2023, the firm reports.
Since the company launched in Spain, recruitment consultancy Keystone calculates it created 8,600 new jobs on national territory before the end of 2018, and paved the way for over 8,000 small and medium-sized businesses to sell their goods nationwide and abroad via Amazon Marketplace.
These firms employ around 10,000 people in total.
This means about 21,000 jobs in total have been created or secured thanks to Amazon's investment in Spain, which the corporation aims to continue building on and views as a great success.
