Bet you $10 this forum will find a way to twist it around as proof that the job market is terrible
Not if you're in the narrow range that Amazon will consider up to their level and hire. Excepting, of course, the third or more of jobs that will just be transplanted. For those folks, it's worker's paradise.
Very few of these jobs are going to be general, entry-level or commodity; these will be high-level management and oversight jobs in a relatively narrow range of fields.
Amazon's N. Virginia HQ: they will hire 25,000 and the average salary will be $150,000.
Another 25,000 in New York - with an average salary of $150,000.
I will need to see a link before I believe that they’re going to give an average salary of $150,000 to 25,000 people at one location. If 150,000 is average that means a lot of people are making much more than that too. I don’t believe it till I see your link.
Update; just looked it up myself and it seems to be true, I’m amazed! It doesn’t say what field the jobs will be in.

So what?? That simply mean alot of people will leave their current job to work for Amazon which will create openings in many other companies.

Not everyone who work in NYC lives in NYC. I know plenty of people in NJ that are willing to take the train everyday for as little as $60,000

It's not beyond belief. Remember, this is not another warehouse or staging depot, it's an expansion headquarters for one of the biggest businesses on the planet, and will be populated almost entirely by higher-level managers and up. Allowing for a third being well-paid worker bees (IT, marketing, plant etc.) in the locations they've chosen, I can see average pay being well north of $100k.
