Amazon, Alaska Airlines cut jobs in Washington state - Oregon Public Broadcasting

Amazon let go of 95 employees in Washington state, according to a state filing, as part of a previously announced global reduction that Amazon said mainly affected its Stores organization. Alaska Airlines separately cut 200 jobs, 125 of them in Washington, which the company links to rising fuel costs that its CEO says could cost up to $700 million this year. Disney, Canva and Squarespace are reportedly cutting about 20% of staff, and analysts are watching whether AI is replacing workers.
