As of Friday, Amazon was advertising 11 jobs total on its website.

Amazon picked Fresno as a fulfillment site back in June, and is expected to to employ about 1,500 workers when the 855,000-square-foot warehouse opens.

Eventually, about 2,500 employees are expected to be hired.

Fresno City Council submitted a generous package of tax rebates and other incentives to entice the Seattle-based company.

The warehouse is located at Orange and Central avenues, part of the North Pointe Business Park industrial complex in south Fresno.

The warehouse is expected to open later this year. The company opened a fulfillment center in Sacramento last year, and has existing centers in Tracy and Patterson.
