Thousands attend Amazon job fair for work positions in its US warehouses

Firstpost  

Thousands of people showed up Wednesday for a chance to pack and ship products to Amazon customers, as the e-commerce company held a giant job fair at nearly a dozen US warehouses. “They’re serious entry-level jobs for a lot of young people, even those who are still making their way through school.” The company is advertising starting wages that range from $11.50 an hour in Chattanooga, Tennessee, to $13.75 an hour in Kent, Washington, near Amazon’s Seattle headquarters. “When it comes to dexterity, machines aren’t really great at it,” said Jason Roberts, head of technology and analytics for mass recruiter Randstad Sourceright, which is not working with Amazon on its jobs fair. “You want to see what’s really happening, go to the unemployment office and see how many people are there and how long they’ve been unemployed.” His wife, a regular Amazon shopper, told him about the job fair, he said. Maureen Schell gave up after several hours at the Fall River site, describing it as a publicity stunt and a “drive to get bodies in the door so they can cherry-pick the warehouse staff they want.” “It looks like they’re looking for young, healthy warehouse staff only,” said Schell, a 57-year-old searching for work that will put more money into her retirement.
