🤑 <-- Seattle tech workers

There were a bunch of headlines last week on how the 125K “information workers” in King County make an average of $279K per year according to BLS data.

That’s $35B a year getting paid out to Seattle tech workers - which on the one hand is a lot of money, but on the other hand, it’s only one-third of the Vision Fund (imagine Softbank getting three years of work from EVERY single tech worker in Seattle)!
