But those 200 employees are probably earning ~10%+ of the towns GDP.
- sph 4y agoSo the people earning the other 90% do not count? I thought wealthier people doing whatever they want was a bad idea, but not if it's Googlers.
- CodeSgt 4y agoI didn't say that, but if you think the wealth Google provides those 200 doesn't benefit the remaining 16k then you're delusional.
- wkat4242 4y agoAhh the old trickle down fairytale
- ngoilapites 4y agoThe benefit is about prestige, not only about 200 families.
- CodeSgt 4y agoThe primary benefit is 200 Google salaries stimulating the relatively small local economy.
- ngoilapites 4y agoThe primary benefit for whom? And the secondary?
- sofixa 4y agoDo you think datacenter security and techs in a small town get paid the same as software engineers in Silicon Valley just because they work at Google?
