New York City will lose the bulk of the 25,000 jobs that were promised as Amazon pulls HQ2 due to local opposition

“Most of the 25,000 jobs that were supposed to come to Amazon’s HQ2 in New York City will now go elsewhere, now that Amazon has announced it’s backing out of its agreement with the city,” Eugene Kim reports for CNBC. “Amazon’s spokesperson told CNBC on Thursday that the bulk of the 25,000 jobs that the company had promised to create in New York City for HQ2 will now go to other corporate offices and tech hubs owned by Amazon across 17 North American cities, including Boston, San Francisco and Vancouver.”
