Graham Johnson, KIRO 7 NewsREDMOND, Wash. — Microsoft announced Wednesday it would lay off 10,000 workers, on the same day more Amazon workers received notice that their jobs would be cut.In a filing with the state, the company disclosed plans to lay off 878 workers locally.Also on Wednesday, Amazon filed notice that it will lay off 2,300 workers in Washington, 448 of them in Bellevue and 1,852 in Seattle.
“Surprisingly, I’ve been able to get interviews from smaller startups and things like that, so it’s not that opportunities are fully closed, which is great,” Del Rosario said. University of Washington economist Jacob Vigdor predicts the layoffs will be a good opportunity for smaller companies to hire workers.“These layoffs are smaller in number, not all of them are going to be in the Seattle area, and we’re just a bigger, more diversified economy now,” Vigdor said.“It sounds like a lot, but you’re still going to see these companies having bigger workforces than they had just two years ago,” he said.
