“Amazon recently signed a lease to build a fulfillment center in Irving, creating 1,000 new full-time jobs, with industry-leading pay of $15 an hour and comprehensive benefits starting on day one,” Amazon said in a prepared statement. “Employees will pick, pack and ship customer orders.

“The fulfillment center is anticipated to open later this year.”
