I listened to an interesting podcast recently about the wars between Kansas and Missouri near the state line. They'd offer incentives and try to lure companies with tax breaks. Many companies would move, often several times back and forth.
Anyway, the states would tout "new jobs" when they won but wouldn't talk about the ones they lost. The jobs weren't new at all either.
Turns out that all the effort both states put in basically came out to a wash so both states were trying to setup a truce to avoid poaching and having to keep offering incentives.
