Amazon is laying off 9,000 more employees
The wave of layoffs in the tech industry continues. After a job boom during the COVID-19 pandemic, high inflation and rapidly rising interest rates have created a series of problems for many internet companies.
After Meta, Facebook’s parent company, Amazon is also cutting thousands of jobs due to an uncertain economic outlook. 9,000 more employees are set to lose their jobs.
Andy Jassy, the CEO of Amazon, announced the second round of job cuts in an email to the company’s workforce. He stated that it was a difficult decision, but they believe it will be the best course for the company in the long run. The Amazon CEO cited the uncertain economic situation as the reason for the job reductions.
