Amazon cuts 9,000 jobs amid reorganization at AWS and HR departments

Amazon began laying off 9,000 employees across human resources and cloud computing divisions.
The job cuts are part of CEO Andy Jassy's aggressive cost-cutting measures including layoffs, hiring freezes, and ending experimental projects.
The layoffs mark the largest in Amazon's history as the company looks to improve profitability ahead of Thursday's earnings report.
The reductions hit staff in the U.S.,Canada and Costa Rica, with workers in other regions soon receiving notice.
While AWS remains highly profitable, Amazon said the cuts come as the company reorganizes priorities and improves efficiency.
