Obviously online retail is a large part of the future and it's nice to not be left out of that business by the biggest player in it right now which was what it felt like every time I passed one of these facilities in other cities.
Would you be able to live in this area on the $10-$12 these jobs pay an hour? I also don't believe 500 of the jobs will have benefits, either.

That hourly wage might cut it in a rural deep south town, but it doesn't cut it in Livonia, Michigan.
