When you factor in all of the support businesses it's probably more like 50,000 jobs. When you add in all the new teachers, store clerks, restaurant employees, bar workers, and on and on, it's more like 75,000 jobs. But those are 75,000 jobs that NYers don't want. I'm ok with that. |

Over 10 years it was estimated at a total of 105-110k jobs additional to Amazon's. Of course not all of those jobs would be 6 figure but jobs nonetheless.Amazon had also agreed to fund projects like a 600 seat school and other infrastructure including creating open space in a Payment In Lieu Of Taxes (PILOT) program estimated at $600 million over 4 decades. Amazon was willing to kick in over $200 million for infrastructure beefup, including water and sewer and also a new LIRR station. Even with that local officials estimated they were about $1 billion short. |

I am trying to respectful.They claimed 25,000 jobs at an average $150K as a GOAL. It was backrooms deals, and little buy-in from all stakeholders. And it was done quickly. If it was open dialogue and pushed into specifics about who, what, and when, they would not be able to answer. So I suspect they used the local NIMBY's as an excuse and quit just as fast, because I think it was hoax. Companies just don't hire x number of people because they have a lot of money and they have a building. They do it when they have work to get done. I have been in IT 39 years next month, 30 of those years for Fortune 500. I know how things work. What would all these people do ? If they are IT nowadays, 80% of them are Offshore or H1-B status. Their firms get huge profit margins, the workers get 1/3rd and 2/rds respectively of the domestic salary. The rest goes to their firms like Cognizant, who are NOT in LIC. So they claim it is $150K per job, but the purchasing power is not in LIC. IT is also an overhead expense that does not grow proportionately with sales volume. Who else could it be ? Lawyers ? Finance Department - that's also an overhead expense. Sales ? Maybe. It's not a warehouse. Then there's the tax breaks. They run for x number of years and when X number of years are done, they leave town for the next city that bribes them. Look at what NS Railway is doing with HQ's and Dispatching centers. They keep moving. They have no commitment to any place. "When it sounds too good to be true, it probably is". |

What they said was that they expected that the employment and salaries would be commensurate with their Seattle HQ and that's what they have in Seattle. I don't know much about the tax breaks but presumably they are based on employment. In other words they don't get full tax breaks without full employment. NYC wasn't giving amazon money after all. They were giving them a tax break. You can't get full tax relief without meeting the employment. |
