[quote=Anonymous]So Jamir Dimon is not very current on how modern tech companies work. He is correct that it will bring 100K jobs, perhaps more but for different reasons.  Companies like Amazon and other tech giants are not like the traditional companies. A second headquarters isn't going to replicate all the back office staff at the other headquarters. There won't be a dual marketing agency. There will be many operational engineers focused on government customers and working in integrators but the design and real engineers will still be on the west coast where you don't see tons of operational integration engineers. You'll see more policy and internal lobbyist/lawyer types out here but supply chain people will stay out west. Amazon is the most frugal of all the tech giants and very careful not to overspend or duplicate work. There will be additional jobs (nowhere close to 100K) for maintaining the campus like office cleaners. Amazon doesn't offer the free cafeteria and other perks that Google and Apple provide but that is good for the local economy anyway.

The 100K jobs will come from competitors and synergistic mini-partners. System integrators that help people adopt AWS and companies that build products off Amazon are one stream. The big draw will be other tech companies looking for an east coast presence and looking to poach/attract employees. [/quote]
