Amazon layoffs spotlight worker strain in a saturated job market

CNBC Markets reports that in the eight-plus months since Amazon announced its most expansive job cuts ever, laid off workers have been facing an increasingly saturated labor market.

The outlet describes how burnout, frustration, and heartbreak have intensified as workers search for new roles in a job market where competition is high.

CNBC Markets links the heightened stress to the length of time since the layoffs were announced and the difficulty of finding open positions.
