Description
Amazon Web Services (AWS), the cloud service platform of the online retailer Amazon, has announced that it will create 600 jobs in Germany.
According to Amazon, many companies have invested in digital infrastructure during the pandemic, which has increased demand. The jobs are to be created in all areas - in central functions and sales as well as in development and data centre operations. The new positions are to be created over the course of the year.
AWS was founded in 2006 as a subsidiary of online retailer Amazon. AWS has 84 Availability Zones in 26 geographic regions around the world.

Digitisation and automation technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), can affect working conditions in a variety of ways and their use in the workplace raises a host of new ethical concerns.
The retail banking sector is fertile ground for studying the impacts of digitalisation on work and employment. Financial services are increasingly provided online, without the intermediary of customer-facing institutions.
European labour markets have recovered strongly from COVID-19. By the end of 2021, little more than 18 months after the start of the pandemic, employment rates in the EU were almost at pre-crisis levels.
