More layoffs, more profits.

The full 30,000 jobs would represent a small portion of Amazon’s 1.58 million employees, but nearly 10% of the firm’s corporate workforce. The majority of Amazon’s workers are in fulfillment centers and warehouses.

It would be the largest layoff in Amazon’s three-decade history. The company trimmed about 27,000 jobs in 2022.
