#Amazon employs over half a million workers. In the past year alone, the #onlineretailer has added roughly a quarter of a million employees to its headcount, and 238 cities across the country are competing to become the location of Amazon's second headquarters, which is estimated to create 50,000 more Amazon jobs.

In much of the world, people whose livelihoods depend on paychecks are increasingly anxious about a potential wave of #unemployment threatened by automation. As the frightening tale goes, #globalization forced people in wealthier lands like North America and Europe to compete directly with cheaper laborers in Asia and Latin America, sowing joblessness. Now, the robots are coming to finish off the humans.

But such talk has little currency in #Sweden or its Scandinavian neighbors, where unions are powerful, government support is abundant, and trust between employers and employees runs deep.

As employers prosper, workers have consistently gained a proportionate slice of the spoils - a stark contrast to the United States and Britain, where wages have stagnated even while corporate profits have soared.
