Amazon's push for automation through robotics is projected to replace approximately 600,000 human jobs, significantly altering the workforce landscape. The shift towards automation is driven by the company's efforts to increase efficiency and reduce costs in its operations. This transition raises concerns about the future of employment in sectors heavily reliant on human labor.

Amazon.com Inc. is set to cut up to 30,000 corporate jobs across several core departments, including logistics, payments, video games, and cloud computing. The layoffs are expected to occur as soon as Tuesday, according to reports from Reuters citing inside sources.
