PARIS: U.S. online retail giant Amazon said that it will create 1,800 permanent contract positions this year in France. France is the largest European market of Amazon after Britain and Germany.
The increase will bring Amazon’s total number of permanent staff to 9,300 by end 2019 and reflects the group’s commitment to the French market where it has invested over 2 billion euros ($2.26 billion) since 2010, the statement said.
Amazon has been expanding steadily in France where it has 20 sites, including six logistics centers, the most recent slated to open over summer in Bretigny-Sur-Orge near Paris.
