This person is wrong unless you define the worker market in some weird way that excludes other large employers like Boeing and uw. This article from 2018 lists other large employers, and Amazon looks smaller than expected https://www.tripsavvy.com/biggest-seattle-area-employers-2965051 https://www.tripsavvy.com/biggest-seattle-area-employers-296...
- harryh 8y agoI think the difference is "Seattle" vs "Seattle area." Google says that Seattle has a population of ~725k. Let's say that half of them are working. 725k * 50% * 15% ~= 54k. 54k Amazon employees in the city limits sounds at least in the ballpark.
- WalterBright 8y agoThe "Seattle area" includes Bellevue, Tacoma, etc., which about triples the number of people.
