Would love to see the pass/fail rate of the pre-employment drug screens.


Pot on a test is a pass for amazon. They don't care.

That's not the drug of choice in Funroe.

Amazon is just replacing the retail that's left. No net new jobs come from these.

Ah yes. The Ruston come up will continue. Just a matter of time before NELA surpasses the Florida Parishes.

LTU to the SEC?

It looks like it will be going in somewhere between Louisiana Delta Community College and where the old GM Guide plant was (Russell Sage exit on I-20). That exit location would be a solid choice as it has its own little-used entrance/exit to the interstate, it's not far from the airport and there's a Love's right there.

The old North Monroe Hospital site likely wouldn't be a bad 2nd choice (especially once CTEL eventually pulls completely out of their old HQ).

I thought I heard that they are going to start hiring at that one soon. Many of the jobs I saw were paying around $15,000.


Maybe so, I hope they do. Kind of looking forward to same day delivery

I've heard their fulfillment centers are terrible places to work though. Not sure how you could run a place that big/that many employees just having the majority of them as part time/15k workers.

I think that already sold to a local company with plans for them to use it as office building space. Weird thing is that last time I drove by it was empty looking.

Does the Monroe airport still have Delta, American, and United coming in? Poor ole Monroe, just hanging on by a thread...
