Amazon has announced it will add a total of 7000 jobs across the United States.

Amazon said it will add 5,000 new jobs across its U.S. fulfillment warehouses, and an additional 2,000 customer service jobs.

Amazon's Vice President of Worldwide Operations Dave Clark said that the company is hiring more than 5,000 people and help them continue to innovate and serve their customers.

According to ABC News, the job additions are not only spurred by Amazon's growth as one of the largest online retailers, but also by new delivery services.

The online shopping giant has been increasing its Local Express service, which offers same-day delivery in select markets, including Baltimore, Boston, New York City and Chicago.

 

The company has also been testing its own grocery delivery service in Los Angeles and Seattle.

The new jobs will be available at over 10 locations, including Charleston, Indianapolis, Phoenix and Chattanooga.
