Amazon’s 33,181 H-1B certifications spark backlash after 30,000 layoffs
Amazon faces backlash after 33,181 H-1B certifications surfaced despite 30,000 layoffs, reigniting debate over foreign hiring practices.
Plumb shared a page from a federal labor certification report alongside a sharply worded caption that read, “Amazon – who ‘eliminated’ 30k roles between their October and January layoff waves has had 33,181 H-1B positions certified in FY26. If you can’t see what’s happening, your eyes are closed.”
