Amazon

The Progressive Policy Institute (PPI) ranked Amazon as the No. 1 U.S. company investing in America. For the second year in a row, Amazon placed first on PPI's “Investment Heroes” list, an annual study that identifies the Top 25 American companies investing in the United States. PPI estimates that Amazon invested $34 billion in American infrastructure in 2020, which led to the creation of more than 400,000 direct jobs by Amazon last year alone. In 2020, Amazon opened more than 150 delivery stations, fulfillment centers, and sortation centers in dozens of communities; invested in the development of more than 20 new solar and wind farms; opened more than 45 physical retail options; expanded its Tech Hub locations and started construction of its second headquarters in Arlington, Virginia. Amazon also continued to invest in prototype manufacturing facilities in Redmond for Project Kuiper, an Amazon initiative that will launch a constellation of low earth orbit satellites to offer high-speed broadband connectivity to unserved and underserved communities around the world.
