a ton of jobs that still wouldnt have paid people enough to afford to live in that area

You realize this was a headquarters and not a warehouse, right? A significant number of those jobs would have been white collar, and would have included managerial and executive positions.

I think when people hear Amazon they automatically assume that it's about a warehouse that pays people minimum wage, but this wasn't that type of building.

after the company begins hiring in 2019, Amazon will create 25,000 jobs over the next decade (with up to 40,000 when all is said and done), with an average salary of $150,000.

as part of the deal they were also going to invest in infrastructure in the area, including building schools to specifically train up for new tech jobs.
Amazon will also build a new school with as many as 600 seats on its campus, along with a tech startup incubator.
