  1. Can this be broken down by which offshore country and what kind of jobs? How can we distinguish between offshore jobs in a country like India vs jobs created to grow market share in India?

  2. This matches nicely with Reddit’s recent announcement that they’re laying off tens of thousands of employees.

  3. For each percentage point a companys workforce exists outside the US, the company must pay two percentage point in taxes on profits. (If a company has 10% of its workforce outside the US, they must pay an additional 20% tax on their profits.)

  4. Offshore or just roles for operations overseas. I have doubts about this data

  5. This is a bit more complicated. How do you define offshore vs not offshore? Because it can’t just be US vs not-US

    Amazon has massive corporate offices all over the world. EU parts of the business run out of EU offices. Canada, particularly Vancouver, gets used heavily in part because of easier visas than the US for certain classes of workers/nationals.

    And so on.

    It’s a global business, it’s going to have global employees. And not solely for cost reasons.

  6. Doesn’t really reveal much does it? Amazon has grown internationally – this could simply be them hiring locals in the countries they are available in…

  7. Doesn’t make sense unless you specify what kind of roles are posted.

    Lot of that can be expansion in operation, Amazon is global marketplace and they can’t have a US person deliver goods or take care of logistics in Brazil.

  8. I’ve mostly been very pro H1B. That said I’m increasingly concerned that we’re not getting technical skill, but rather a managerial class that can speak Hindi.

  9. “We are replacing tens of thousands of jobs with >!bio-!< robots”

  11. Does “offshore” just mean “not America” here?

    Because yeah… Amazon grew fastest in the US at first and now is growing in other countries.
