$45,000 minimum for distribution center jobs? Cool beans. This is a big win!

East Greensboro has been lacking in economic development for quite some time. This is a game changer for that area.

...an average salary of $45,000. That is not the same as a minimum.

Still not bad. $45k is slightly below average for Guilford County, but still above average for North Carolina. And in an era where people are clamoring for a $15/hr minimum wage and some people claim that's wholly unrealistic, $45k/yr equates to right around $21.50/hr.

So yeah, even as an average, these are potentially some solid job prospects for non-college-grads.

The only downside I see is the timeline. Some of these jobs are still seven years off:

Quote:
The company plans a $300 million capital investment and the jobs will be hired over a four-year period. The distribution center is expected to be completed by 2022 and the jobs are expected to be created by 2025, according to Gov. Cooper’s office.
But Rome wasn't built in a day.

One article specifically said minimum. And yes, I checked the wording multiple times because $45k for a distribution center struck me as highly unusual.
