Amazon is holding a nationwide job fair in hopes of hiring 30,000 new employees. People are lining the streets in Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Nashville, Seattle and Arlington, the home of Amazon's second-largest headquarters. Amazon's move to Arlington, Virginia comes after freshman congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez 'chased' the online retailer out of New York City. Fox News Correspondent Mark Meredith reports from Amazon Career Day in Arlington, Virginia.

They're a bottleneck employer - meaning you have one "good" job for a whole lotta crappy ones, and I never heard of a person who started at the bottom as a picker/packer actually being promoted. If one does, thousands don't. So, yeah, they "create jobs" but it's not a REAL job where a person can advance, stay with the company, and retire. We seriously need to bring those corporate ladder type things back.

For example, I know exactly one person of everyone I've ever known who worked at McD's in their lifetime who got promoted to the corporate offices. One. That's what I mean by bottleneck. In the meantime, sometimes you just gotta do whatever you can to pay the bills, and hope you won't be picking and packing forever, or wrapping burgers, tending bar, etc. You keep playing that game of musical chairs.

Yeah, I don't see any Amazon or McDonalds position this list:
