Comment on Trader Joe's Shruggedparent

Comments

"Does Trader Joe's have a habit of hiring local people?"

Yes. They hire locally and train and pay very well. That one store would bring 30-40 jobs paying $40,000 - $60,000 for 'grocers' that stock shelves and run the registers.

True, but many people working at Trader Joe's who pull in the higher salaries have a degree, some college education, or they have been full timers for many years. The majority make just over minimum wage (and no longer get awesome health care).

It's a pretty good job though for most people is what you're saying, and I agree. But this also means there is competition for these jobs.
