Amazon runs their warehouses with low-paying virtually contract labor. You are getting amazon supply chain develop, web services or site development staff because frankly they aren't coming to state where John Bennett is a legislator and Mary Fallin is governor. Let's all clap.
They are here for a simple reason. For the collection of online sales tax which started March 1, 2017. They had to have a physical presence in state for the state to be able to collect. There HQ is in Seattle, where the majority of back office staff will remain.

This happened under the Fallin regime.
