Virtual Amazon Jobs, Real Peace of Mind

Amazon currently employs more than 10,000 military veterans, and plans to hire and train an additional 25,000 veterans and military spouses by 2021.

“Amazon’s commitment, and taking an intentional step around military spouse employment, truly shows that they do understand the challenges that the community faces,” said Durant. “To have an innovator like Amazon understand the need – the deep need – that military spouses have for employment says to me they are a catalyst for greater societal change in this country.”

After I read that Bezos was doing ‘victory laps’ for his part in thwarting President Trump’s EO on placing a temporary halt on residents of seven supect states entering the U.S., I canceled my Amazon account. I encourage others to do so.

I sher hope those employee records are secure. Hate to see those immigrants get a list. yeah, I’m paranoid especially about our vet families. Their lives are really hard. Moving, leaving friends, stress of new schools, dad or mom gone, spouse gone. It SUCKS.
