Farmington Hills Sam's Club is hiring - Anybody wanna bet on the number of applicants?

My guess? It'll definitely be four figures.

GOPers claim unemployment checks discourage workers from looking for work. I hope the local teevee stations send out the cameras on Wednesday.

2. I'll tell my out of work cousin in the area

She can't find a job to save her life. And she just keeps trying and trying. And Farmington Hills, really needs the jobs. Heck all of the Detroit area needs the jobs!!

3. It's not even worth applying.

I guarantee the hiring managers will meet a few friends/family in the 1000+ line of people. Think about it... how many of you can see/interview 1000+ people from your town and not likely run into a few old acquaintances or relatives?

4. I'm sure there will be many

Probably somewhere around 2,000 people I bet. There's a new Walmart Supercenter that will open not too far from me soon. I'm sure that store will get just as many applicants.

6. It sure seems like it

The first Supercenter open in the Detroit area in 2007. Now there's probably 8-9 with more opening.

7. So, the upscale Farmington Hills is getting its very own Sam's Club?

That in itself is quite a surprise.
