Amazon Could Run Out Of People To Hire — And Has An $8B Problem, Investor Says
Portfolio Pulse from AJ Fabino
Amazon.com, Inc (NASDAQ:AMZN) is expected to issue Q2 earnings of 34 cents per share on revenues of $131.54 billion. However, the company faces a potential $8 billion problem due to its high employee turnover rate, which was 3.9% in 2020, significantly higher than the industry average. This could deplete the available labor supply in the U.S. in certain areas within a few years. Inefficiencies in Amazon's internal learning and development programs could also have financial implications for the company.
