The answer is yes. People keep applying. I know because I train them.

The other answer is more complicated. If you hire 10 people and 5 stick and then hire 10 more people and 5 stick then you have 10 people there but you also lost 10 people and had 100% turnover. It's not that hard to hire for the same spot multiple times until you find the person who stays and end up with those numbers.

It's way more complex than that and there are other factors but it's at least partially that as far as I remember.

Also a looooooooooooooooot of people who quit come back. Amazon knows they will too. They're borderline arrogant about it. In the weekly newsletter (posted in the bathroom and called InSTALLments) it will often remind people that if they're gonna leave, to talk to HR and leave correctly so that it will be easy when they return.
