Our team recently partnered with Amazon to conduct in-depth analyses of the company’s global economic footprint across major markets. In the US and Europe, we found that Amazon’s investments are supporting millions of jobs, and contributing significantly to GDP in every region where it operates.
Key Findings Include:
- Substantial GDP contribution: Since 2010, Amazon has contributed over $1.5 trillion to the U.S. GDP, investing most in the states of Washington, California, and Virginia.
- Widespread Job Creation: Amazon’s activities support over 3 million jobs in the U.S, and over 600,000 direct and indirect jobs in the E.U., including construction, logistics, and manufacturing roles.
- Significant Investments: Across Europe, Amazon has invested more than €320 billion since 2010, including €55 billion in 2024 alone, helping to revitalize former industrial regions like northern France.
- UK Growth and Regional Reach: In the UK, Amazon has invested more than £21.6 billion in London alone since 2010 over 13,000 full- and part-time jobs.
