I suppose we'll see how this play out but... I think there are some serious chasms between 19th century manufacturing's take on mass employment and the tech industries'.
Henry Ford's ideal for manufacturing workers was long term employment, high commitment. The modern tech industry's ideal for logistical work is a fluid, low commitment workforces, with "gig economy" at the extreme end. I don't think amazon want to arrive at a place where the average employee has been working in the warehouse for a decade.
