"The e-commerce giant, which has spent years automating tasks previously done by humans in its facilities, has deployed more than one million robots in those workplaces, Amazon said. That is the most it has ever had and near the count of human workers at the facilities."
The impact of robotics on the overall number of employees, as well as the overall efficiency of those workers, is illustrated in the two charts accompanying the article:
