Its the same at county level to.
- CydeWeys 8y agoWe spend a lot on social services here in the US, we just don't always get the best value for money. Here's some stats: https://ballotpedia.org/Analysis_of_spending_in_America%27s_largest_cities https://ballotpedia.org/Analysis_of_spending_in_America%27s_... NYC spends $8,690 per year per capita, and NY spends an additional $6,804 on top of that. So we're looking at $15.5k spent per year on the average citizen across the state and city. Thus your break-even is actually around $22k in state/local tax revenue per Amazon employee. And in order to reach that, your average single filer Amazon employee will need an income of $230k according to this calculator: https://smartasset.com/taxes/new-york-tax-calculator#UDJIdPTgXL https://smartasset.com/taxes/new-york-tax-calculator#UDJIdPT... Note: I haven't taken property or sales tax into account here; feel free to make reasonable assumptions and do your own math. This will bring the $230k figure down.
