Amazon plans to increase its full-time US workforce to more than 280,000 by mid-2018 from 180,000 in 2016. The largest increase of these employees will be in its fulfillment centers across the country in such places as Ruskin, Florida, a Tampa suburb. This will have great benefits locally for housing, apartments and retail.
