Amazon officials have announced the availability of thousands of new full and part-time jobs in the Inland Empire.
The jobs are at the company’s newly opened inbound cross dock facilities in Fontana in San Bernardino County and Jurupa Valley in Riverside County, the company announced this month.
According to the company, the new inbound cross docks are designed to receive and prepare goods for Amazon’s fulfillment centers.

Amazon officials stated that job recruitment is part of the significant expansion in the Inland Empire, which underscores the company’s commitment to growth and investment in the region.
The new positions offer competitive wages, with starting pay of $20.75 per hour. In addition, employees will receive a comprehensive benefits package, including:
- Health, dental, and vision coverage
- 401(k) with company match
- Up to 20 weeks of paid parental leave
- Prepaid college tuition and upskilling opportunities through Amazon’s Career Choice program
“Amazon’s investment in the Inland Empire, bringing over 2,000 new jobs, is a significant boost to our local economy,” said Inland Empire Economic Partnership President and CEO Paul Granillo. “This initiative provides valuable employment opportunities with competitive wages and benefits. We’re excited about the positive impact this will have on our workforce and the broader community.”
