At the orientation today they said there server was down so many people keep applying.

There were 22 people in my session. There was a session before and after mine.

So at least 66 people.

We were all there for Wood Dale.

They are hiring a lot of folks. And a lot of folks are applying.

I'm assuming some of these locations are Whole Foods. Amazon doesn't have any other facilities in Orland Park.

Do they test for weed?

They give a mouth swab when going in to watch video/finish the application process showing your identification, take picture for your badge.

Youtube video I watched said 7 day time period the mouth swab can't detect weed. Maybe less, maybe more dunno....or hell perhaps since it is legal here now they don't care. Not sure about their policy.

You need a solid 24-48 hours to pass a mouth swab for marijuana if you brush your teeth and use mouth wash on the regular. You must brush your teeth and use mouth wash a little more on that day.

Isn't the term "slave" a bit hyperbolic? Do employees expect to be compensated to sit around in break rooms sipping coffee and having pleasant conversation or surfing on their smart phones?

Next Thursday's look at weekly new jobless claims may show a tenfold spike to two million as the full force of the coronavirus halt in the U.S. economy slams the labor market, economist Ian Shepherdson told CNBC.

Shepherdson's comments came ahead of this Thursday's release of the Labor Department's weekly report jobless claims. The report showed claims rose to 281,000 last week, a significant rise from last week's 211,000.

"Looking at the states' unemployment claims numbers that have been coming out over the last few days, it looks to me like the order of magnitude in most states seems to be about 10 times higher than the normal weekly numbers before the crisis," the chief economist at Pantheon Macroeconomics said on "Squawk Box." "That means next week's jobless claims number could jump 200,000-something this week to two million next week."

In Ohio, for example, more than 48,000 people filed for jobless benefits in the first two days of the week, up from 1,825 the week prior. A similar story unfolded in Pennsylvania, where about 70,000 people applied for unemployment benefits on Tuesday alone. In the entire first week of March, the state received around 12,000.
