I'm not sure how Amazon is treated in these numbers.

In thinking about it, I don't think very many of Amazons employees (if any) would be considered retail.

Most Amazon workers are in warehouses and fulfillment centers (and that would not be considered retail).

Yet the more I think about it, the more I have to admit I just don't know.

If the numbers are counted using the companies' IRS classifications, Amazon may be consider retail, regardless of the actual jobs of the employees.
