Just some random data for the 19 US sites selected for Amazon. This is the number of software/web developers and computer programmers according to the BLS (OES dataset) for mid 2017. Some of the DC and NYC stuff were weird since there's multiple areas for both. Needless to say, the entire NYC area is #1 regardless in pure numbers and DC is #2. However, I did metro divisions for some of these.. Also Boston's data is incomplete so it's not listed, BUT using 2016 data we can estimate that it could anywhere from 2nd to 4th. Higher than Chicago by probably around 10,000 people and around the same as the DC Metro Division and Los Angeles MSA

1. NYC Metro Division: 97,420 people
2. Los Angeles MSA: 67,670 people
3. DC Metro Division: 61,390 people
4. Chicago: 52,140 people
5. Dallas MSA: 51,390 people

10. Miami MSA: 19,370 people
11. Newark, NJ Metro Division: 17,970 people
