Amazon.com on Monday announced its plan to open a new warehouse — the company calls it a “fulfillment center” — in West Jordan that is expected to bring more than 800 jobs starting at $15 an hour with full benefits.
"Utah has a talented workforce, and we are very excited to grow employment beyond the more than 2,000 associates already serving customers in the state,” Alicia Boler Davis, Amazon’s vice president of global customer fulfillment, said in a prepared statement.
Gov. Gary Herbert praised the plan, calling Utah “the perfect place for companies in the distribution, fulfillment and logistics industries to enjoy great success.
