Amazon announced last week that it would set up shop in Long Island City, with the support of up to $3 billion in city and state tax incentives and grants that are contingent on the creation of at least 25,000 jobs. At that time, it didn't provide a breakdown of the jobs that would be created but said the average annual salary would be $150,000.

Average annual salary of $150,000?

I doubt that, this is an example of numbers telling lies.

The article further goes on to say...

The city officials said details on the jobs at the site haven't been finalized. They noted Amazon's commitment to paying its workers a minimum of $15 an hour, which will become the minimum wage in New York City by the end of the year.

That'd be 10,000 hours a year or 192 hours a week. Or 27 hours a day, it's not even possible and total b/s!
