Amazon falls far short of Virginia jobs pledge despite $750M in subsidies

Amazon promised to create 25,000 jobs in Virginia by 2030 in exchange for $750 million in subsidies, but shed over 200 jobs there last year
Amazon was supposed to add over 2,500 jobs in Virginia in 2022 but instead lost jobs
Amazon has slowed hiring globally which impacted its headquarters growth plans
Amazon has only created about 6,600 of the 25,000 jobs promised in Virginia so far
Virginia's subsidies to Amazon are tied to the company meeting hiring goals, so it will likely get less money due to the hiring slump
