How America Subsidizes Amazon

State and local governments offer Amazon tax incentives in the hundreds of millions of dollars to attract investments such as warehouses and employment. Thus, de facto bidding wars occur between cities and states looking to boost capital spend and job creation.

So, which state’s taxpayers are subsidizing Amazon the most?

Switch On Business commissioned our team to find out. We used data from non-profit watchdog Good Jobs First to rank U.S. states, based on tax subsidies given to Amazon overall and as a percentage of GDP.
