Amazon jobs numbers show changing footprint of its U.S. workforce

Amazon employment fell in 33 states between December 2021 and January 2023, reflecting an unprecedented pullback in the company's fulfillment and delivery network, according to a new analysis by GeekWire of current and historical Amazon data. 

• The company shed jobs in many of the states where it had been growing rapidly, including California, Texas, and Tennessee, the analysis shows. 

• The new numbers, which follow more than a decade of extraordinary growth, do not yet include the impact of the company’s 27,000 corporate and tech layoffs.
