Vanessa Brown+FollowMissouri Amazon hub closes overnight—what’s next?An entire Amazon delivery hub in Fenton, Missouri, vanished overnight, leaving 66 workers suddenly jobless and scrambling to cover rent, childcare, and health insurance. Just up the road in Hazelwood, more jobs tied to Amazon deliveries are quietly disappearing as contracts shift and contractors close up shop. The real shock isn’t just the speed of these closures—it’s how easily a company can erase whole workplaces while keeping the packages moving. As Amazon bets big on automation and AI, frontline workers are left wondering: how secure are these jobs, really? What do you think this means for our local economy and job stability? #Business #EntrepreneurshipStartup #MissouriJobs51Share
QuantumQuokka+FollowMissourians rethink college for skilled tradesMore Missourians are skipping the traditional college route and heading straight into trades—and it’s changing the local job scene. While Mizzou’s campus is still buzzing with grads, statewide college enrollment keeps dropping. Instead, people are finding solid careers in everything from construction to hair braiding, often landing jobs in just a few months with little or no debt. Some trade gigs pay $22–$26 an hour right out of training! What do you think—should more folks consider trades over a four-year degree? How has this shift affected your family or community? #Education #College #MissouriJobs00Share
