Amazon.com Inc. said it’s hiring 2,000 people in Boston, expanding an existing technology hub that focuses on everything from machine learning and speech science to cloud computing and robotics.
Last year, the e-commerce giant announced plans to hire more than 100,000 workers -- from entry-level positions to engineers and software developers -- over the following 18 months. Since Donald Trump became president pledging to create thousands of new jobs, U.S. companies have been eager to tout hiring plans even if they’ve been previously announced.
