Amazon, Marriott and other companies vow to hire thousands of refugees in Europe

Multinational companies including Amazon, Marriott, Hilton are pledging to hire more than 13,000 Ukrainian women and other refugees in Europe over the next three years. Just ahead of World Refugee Day on Tuesday, more than 40 corporations said Monday that they will hire, connect to work or train a total 250,000 refugees, with 13,680 of them getting jobs directly in those companies. The U.N. says 110 million people have been displaced worldwide, with estimated 12 million from Ukraine in the largest movement of refugees in Europe since World War II. The hiring push in Europe has been organized by the Tent Partnership for Refugees, a nonprofit founded by the CEO of Chobani.
