Amazon has become a people intensive business.

In 2010, Amazon generated over $1M in revenue per employee.

However, in 2022, it generated only $333K in revenue per employee, a drop of 67%!

This figure is more in line with a retail company than a tech company.

For e.g. revenue per employee in 2022 for
- Apple: $2.4M
- Walmart: $0.3M

Logistics and fulfillment aspects of e-commerce business is labor intensive indeed, especially after all that ramp up in 2021-2022. $AMZN is however moving intentionally towards more automation, so we shall see how this metric moves in the quarters/years to come
