U.S. Bancorp is hiring about 1,500 people in 2014 and will hire up to another 3,000 by the end of 2015, CEO Richard Davis said in an interview with Bloomberg in New York.
Many of the new jobs are in compliance and audit, as the company tries to meet regulatory needs. Hiring veterans and the long-term unemployed are also a priority, Davis said.
"Big time on veterans, that's a really big deal for us," Davis said. "Now we're working on long (term) unemployed."
U.S. Bank had 65,500 employees at the end of 2013. Davis said the company will end 2014 with 67,000 employees, and either 69,000 or 70,000 by the end of 2015.
"I don't bring people on until I'm sure that I can keep them all," Davis told Bloomberg.
