Amazon will invest $4 billion by 2026 to expand its network in rural parts of the United States for delivering packages faster in less densely populated areas, the company said in an April 30 statement.
“This investment will also grow our rural delivery network’s footprint to over 200 delivery stations, and we estimate it will create over 100,000 new jobs and driving opportunities through a wide range of full-time, part-time, and flexible positions in our buildings and on the roads,” the company said.
