These are NOT good paying jobs.

Part of this new shipping problems is the warehouses. The prices are sky rocketing to the point where no one will keep things in a warehouse and only ship from Factory direct which mean you have to wait for your product when it is made instead of storing a stock so it can be shipped right away.

Covid 19 gave us a wakeup call of how vulnerable we are. We had to outsource to China to supply us with needed medical suppliers. So these warehouses is not only about the consumer, it is about the public as a whole.

I bet most of these people are temp or contract workers. It's much cheaper than hiring full time, and if someone gets hurt it's the temp agency that has to pay out.

How in the world did Sears and Montgomery Ward stay in business as long as they did without these super warehouses? Especially since they sold a lot of bulky appliances and tools taking up a lot of space. Even UPS did not have as many warehouses as the ones that are being built now.

I live in the Lehigh Valley.. People just need to chill out. The warehouses will come whether we like it or not

idk, i used to work in warehousing and they were way overbuilt - that was 15 or so years aog. But, thouse warehouse 'industrial parks' stayed mostly empty with partially finished warehouses, for over 10 years.

warehouses provided lots of jobs but the work environment is toxic. snitching, lying, gossiping, rumors, disrespect, yelling, talking down, bad managent, standing all day, hawk eyes everywhere. it's ridiculous

Wait! Listen up. Make rate every 10 seconds. No rest at all. Only when you are allowed. Managers and pg and pa will intimidate you on a day you’re not feeling good and you are slower than usual. Everyone doesn’t realy care when you are top 10 employees. If you’re too fast. You’ll be assigned to a new work station. Not just once, not just twice, not just thrice. But pretty much the faster you are, the more work they’ll give you. They don’t like it when their best fastest employees want a 1 or 3 minute breather.

It could be why prices have gone up, because of the lack of warehouses. So besides hiring more people, it can effectively help to lower prices for the consumer.

My thing is while we keep growing the numbers of warehouse, our trucking retention is declining. What are we going to do to fix this? Automation?

Why are the springs gonna go away? you can't build warehouses on water. just because he is gonna sell the surrounding 100 acres shouldn't mean the water park has to close.

I'm all for more warehousing and industrial space, I just wish they were more judicious about the locations! It's great seeing them turn dead malls and plazas into useful warehouses, not so great seeing them plop warehouses in the middle of towns where we desperately need more housing.

the way products are kept and moved around/transported are often extremely inefficient, though. if done right, far less warehouse space would be needed. Also, may are only open 9 to 5, M- F. That is part of the ineffiency. Many are filled with products that are rarely touched - crap made for events that came and went, stuff no one wants, stuff a big co. forgets it even has. That might be 10 to 15% of all inventory in the USA. Some warehouses throw away a lot of stuff, because it is cheaper than fixing the torn plastic covering (might be unable to do that in most warehouses, so would have to be sent back to manufacturer). Also, I worked at a NJ-owned warehouse that had a HUGE number of illegals in one half of the warehouse. At night, they'd sneak into the half I worked in and steal stuff. SO, at 4 pm, our staff had to hide boxes by using forklifts to put the pallets on 2d or third section. many times, the illegals would climb to the 2nd level of racks and cut open boxes.

It's the future of retail. Instead of seeing big box stores or retailers or retail outlets, your just gonna see warehouses distribution centers.

Since there are warehouses as far as the eye can see, there is no room to build more homes. Enjoy the money.

That's partly because manufacturing requires trained, drug-free workers who will stick around for several years. Many are still covered under a union, so it's mostly FT/benefits (though it's iffy in "right to work" States). Lot of capital investment in machinery and infrastructure (electrical, transport, etc). Warehouses are comparatively cheap to put up & lease out, and the business is reliable - no matter what the actual products are, the landlord still gets paid. We're only gonna see manufacturing jobs in the States if Americans decide they want to start those businesses, *and* if it costs as much to hire overseas + shipping costs, as hiring workers here. Even then, a lot of it is already getting automated, so I don't know if most mfg is ever coming back.

You refer to warehouses as “industrial” space. They’re not. They’re “post/industrial” space; a symptom of the short-sighted and ill-advised outsourcing boom of the ‘90s and ‘00s. Every one of these warehouses is another Chinese beachhead in our domestic economy.
