https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/...ecision-to-forsake-new-york-cost-100-000-jobsAmazon's change of mind about locating in the New York City area resulted in a loss of about 100,000 jobs, far beyond the 25,000 people who would have worked directly for the company, according to JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon.
"It wasn't just the 25,000 jobs that Amazon was going to do. It was probably going to be about 100,000 jobs supporting it," Dimon said at the National Governors Association Winter Meeting over the weekend. "And they would have gone from low skill to high skilled to consultants to lawyers to restaurants to barbers and construction workers," said Dimon, who donates to both parties. "That's the shame, that’s what they lost, the whole ecosystem that creates jobs and furthers interest and cities and states acts that act that way, they will be long-term losers."
