Do you expect more automation in the workplace from Amazon or less? Cause the numbers only work if the jobs are created, however Amazon has about a decade as a cushion. A few years from now, Amazon could conclude that it may not be worthwhile to create all the 25,000 jobs and the better option is to return the government's money in year 10, this will be a loss for the city.

This is not an upfront payment. Amazon gets the money once they have actually created the jobs.
