Amazon: 160,000 jobs cut

Amazon deployed its one millionth warehouse robot across 300+ fulfillment centers. Leaked documents reveal plans to avoid hiring 160,000+ US workers by 2027, saving ~30 cents per shipped item. There is strong evidence linking these cuts to AI adoption, with company leadership referencing automation and efficiency gains in public statements. Of the 160,000 total positions affected, our methodology estimates that approximately 120,000 roles (75%) are attributable to AI-driven changes. This reflects a broader trend in E-commerce/Logistics where physical automation and robotics are increasingly displacing traditional roles.
