Amazon had to resize its workforce due to the pandemic and large-scale demand and supply concerns across many areas of the company. Many facilities have been closed, canceled, or delayed as it was left with a lot of warehouse space. The company fired 99,000 to 1.52 workers in the second quarter. The company is hiring the same amount of people as last year just like the other retailers. Walmart stated that they would hire 40,000 workers for full-time and part-time jobs which is less than last year. They had stated that they would add 150,000 partners with 20,000 workers to help the rush during the holiday season.
