Online retail giant Amazon is adding 120,000 temporary jobs to its warehouse workforce for the holidays, which will nearly double its staff.

The company said many employees return year after year, and some even continue on in full-time positions.

This comes as cities bid on a project to add a second Amazon headquarters in North America, which would bring 50,000 new jobs.
