Amazon wasn't going to be hiring too many poor people. At $120,000 to $150,000 per job, these weren't janitors they were looking to hire.

AOC picked the right fight here. The Amazon site wasn't in her district, but her constituents were going to pay the cost of making up all the lost tax revenues from the Amazon deal.

We should be a little more careful than this lest we be pointed out as saying that poor people are only qualified to be janitors (class system stereotyping).
