Amazon's search for its second North American headquarters has created a flurry of activity as cities vie for what experts believe will produce a massive economic boon to the lucky winner.

Tens of thousands of new jobs will follow it is predicted, allowing a new region of America to reap the benefits of big tech.

Over two hundred cities large and small have responded by offering assorted tax breaks and putting together presentations highlighting their unique features to entice the Seattle based company. 

Austin Texas seems to be the front-runner according to many media outlets. The speculation is that Austin offers the right culture, educated workforce, and is near Houston, the chosen location for a giant wind farm to be placed by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos. 

But the New York Times believes it has the top front-runners:

1)Pittsburgh

2) Baltimore

3) Philadelphia

4) Toronto

5) Chicago

6) Boston
