That's what the city brochure said. It is called XPO for Boeing. The facility is operated by XPO for Boeing Global Services.

The only thing being piloted around there is a forklift. The jobs are OK, I guess but most of them don't pay enough to rent an apartment around here. I don't know how people manage anymore.

Lol, I hear you on that. People used to be able to live like they were wealthy that have our household income. Now I'm just a middle class suburban dweller. I don't know how people make it on what most jobs pay these days.

Roommates, and giving up luxuries like vacations, pets, going out on weekends, etc.

Seems like the people I know are still doing all that. I always wonder how they are doing it all.

Some people I know are doing part-time work on the side for the weekends and when they are off the clock at the full time job. Many of my colleagues do that.

It's definitely tough these days, something has to change. Boeing pays pretty well, so I was a little bummed to hear this was ran by a logistics company that probably pays less than Boeing. But if Boeing is definitely running it and has Boeing salaries, then that's a good thing.

Phoenix isn't known for having the high-income salaries of other cities. We are more affordable than those cities sure, but not affordable enough for jobs that pay around here. Ideally the system would be a San Francisco pay and a Phoenix affordability, considering the median housing price these days. Once upon a time, things were like that.

I wonder myself, but roommates later in life seem to be the norm in most major cities.

Nothing is changing anytime soon...heavy influenced capitalism has its consequences, unfortunately. Im comfortable and can work and manage for myself, with that being said I'm still looking for the more affordable cities as I get older to live so I can maybe spend time in cheaper country abroad in my full retirement age range
