Amazon aims to hire over 100,000 U.S. veterans and military spouses within the next three years.

It currently employs over 40,000 of the working demographic across multiple businesses, from operations to its Amazon Web Services, according to a press release.

"Amazon is focused on recruiting and developing military talent with training programs specifically designed to help veterans transition into roles in the private sector," John Quintas, Amazon's director of global military affairs, said in the release. "We value the unique skills and experience that the military community brings — and our new hiring commitment will expand the impact that military members currently have on every single business across the company."
