West Coast juggernauts Apple and Amazon are still searching for a new East Coast home. It seems like it could be the same city for both companies thanks to a new report from ATTOM Data which puts Raleigh, North Carolina as the front runner for the coveted position of Amazon’s HQ2. A move to Raleigh could easily up Amazon's black employee representation which currently sits around 18%. Raleigh is one of the cities where black people thrive in terms of home ownership, and income. Local companies such as IBM, Cisco and Lenovo usually rake in talent from three neighboring universities: North Carolina State University, Duke University, and University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
