Amazon.com Inc. plans to keep most of the U.S. jobs it added to meet demand in March and April as housebound Americans turned to online deliveries. Amazon said Thursday it will give 125,000 of those 175,000 temporary workers the option to stay on full time, signaling that it expects the recent growth to continue. The company said the jobs will supplement its total U.S. count, which it recently put at more than 500,000. Amazon’s nonseasonal employee ranks include full-time and part-time positions.
