More than 10,000 seasonal workers will be hired to staff Amazon.com Inc.’s facilities throughout California this holiday season.

Seattle-based Amazon has facilities in Tracy, Patterson, San Bernardino, Redlands, Moreno Valley, Eastvale and Newark.

The statewide hiring effort is part of a national blitz that Amazon said will result in filling 120,000 seasonal positions at its U.S. fulfillment centers, sorting facilities and customer service sites.

Job seekers can find out more at amazon.com/seasonal.

Last year, more than 14,000 seasonal positions were transitioned to regular, full-time Amazon jobs after the holidays, and the company said Thursday that it expects to increase that number this year.
