Amazon on March 20 announced another round of layoffs, saying that it’s letting go of 9,000 employees or roughly 3 percent of its corporate workforce.

The cuts will primarily affect those in Amazon’s cloud web services unit, the Twitch gaming division, advertising, and the PXT Solutions unit, CEO Andy Jassy said in a blog post published on March 20.
