Amazon layoff risk analysis
Amazon risk trend over the last 90 days
Across the last 80 days of scoring, Amazon's layoff risk eased 3 points, moving from 55 on July 15, 2026 to 52 today. It peaked at 76 on July 24, 2026 and bottomed out at 50 on October 8, 2026, a 26-point spread over the period. That leaves Amazon in the moderate band today, and the size of the swing means the current reading is worth re-checking weekly rather than treating as settled.
Amazon layoff history
PinkSlip has recorded 5 confirmed layoff events at Amazon, running from July 2026 to September 2026. Together they account for roughly 1,520 disclosed roles, or about 0.43% of an estimated 350,000-person workforce. Scoring uses that share rather than the raw number, because the same headcount means very different things at a 10,000-person company and a 200,000-person one. Sources: WA ESD WARN + layoffs.fyi, CA EDD WARN, layoffs.fyi, WA ESD WARN. Recent events weigh more than older ones — each decays on a half-life instead of dropping out on a fixed date — so the most recent filing on September 1, 2026 carries the most weight in today's score.
How Amazon compares to other tech employers
Amazon (AMZN) is an E-Commerce & Cloud company tracked as part of the NASDAQ-100 and currently scores 52 out of 100, where 0 is the safest reading and 100 the riskiest. That is riskier than 96% of the 89 tech employers PinkSlip tracks. Over the past week the score eased 10 points, and over the past month it eased 21 points.
What is driving the Amazon score
Amazon's current reading is supported from two independent directions: confirmed public filings, and 10 anonymous reports submitted by people in the past 90 days. Agreement between a public record and first-hand accounts is the strongest configuration the model recognises. Absence of reports is deliberately not treated as evidence of safety — a quiet company and an unobserved one look identical in public data, so the model never discounts risk for silence alone. At this level the signals do not suggest imminent action, though the score is recomputed every morning and a single filing or earnings miss can move it quickly.

Amazon layoff risk — frequently asked questions
Has Amazon had layoffs recently?
PinkSlip has tracked 5 layoff events at Amazon in the past year, the latest on September 1, 2026, totalling roughly 1,520 disclosed roles. Undisclosed headcounts are excluded from that total, so treat it as a floor rather than a full count.
How is the Amazon layoff risk score calculated?
PinkSlip blends 10+ public data sources — historical layoff events, quarterly earnings, hiring and news signals, and anonymous crowd reports — into a single 0–100 layoff risk score. Signals are weighted by how predictive they have been historically, and each one decays on a half-life as it ages rather than expiring on a fixed date — so a layoff announced last month weighs roughly twice as much as the same layoff two months earlier, and fades out gradually instead of disappearing overnight.
How often does the Amazon risk score update?
Every day. An automated job re-scrapes the public sources each morning and recomputes every tracked company's score, so the 7-day movement shown above always compares against freshly ingested data. Quarterly earnings refresh on each company's own reporting schedule.
Where does PinkSlip's Amazon layoff data come from?
The layoff events listed above are sourced from WA ESD WARN, layoffs.fyi, CA EDD WARN. Across all companies PinkSlip aggregates state WARN notices, layoffs.fyi, quarterly earnings filings, and layoff coverage from major business and tech outlets. Everything is public data — no employer submissions, and no paywalled sources.
