JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon warned of an exodus of companies from New York as a result of climbing taxes and regulatory encumbrances, but emerging data suggests mass migration away from the metropolis has been greatly exaggerated. In JPMorgan’s annual shareholder letter, Dimon wrote that “while New York City has much going for it,” it also has the highest corporate and income taxes, with the potential to scare off businesses and high-caliber talent as a result. “Individuals vote with their feet,” Dimon wrote.
Main Idea: Jamie Dimon warned that high taxes and rules could push business and talent out of New York, but new data says the city is still drawing skilled workers and strong office demand.
Key Points:
Higher taxes and stricter rules in New York could push some firms and jobs to lower-cost states, which may mean fewer local openings and less tax revenue for public services.
New York still appears to attract skilled workers and office demand, which can support jobs, rents, and growth for households and small businesses.
