US IT giant Amazon has announced that it will suspend new hiring for the next few months.
In the United States, amid growing concerns about an economic slowdown, there is a growing movement to reduce labor costs by suspending hiring and laying off workers.
This was announced on the official website on the 3rd by an executive in charge of human resources at Amazon. I'm explaining.
After that, we will suspend new hiring for several months and assess the economic situation.
Due to the impact of record inflation, Amazon's costs such as logistics and labor costs increased, and in the three-month settlement of accounts until September this year, the final profit was $ 2,872 million, which is the Japanese yen. It was about 420 billion yen, down 8% from the same period last year.
U.S. ride-sharing giant Lyft announced on Thursday that it would furlough 13% of its workforce, citing inflation and a slowing economy.
Meta, a major IT company, is also restraining hiring, and amid growing concerns about an economic slowdown, there is a growing movement to reduce labor costs.
