Amazon's Arrival in Paducah: New Jobs or Just a Smokescreen for Lower Wages?

Amazon’s new facility in Paducah promises jobs and growth—but at what cost? Just as Amazon ramps up, news has surfaced that FedEx plans to close a Paducah facility in 2025. Is it a coincidence, or a sign of what’s to come? While Amazon expands by cutting costs and paying lower wages, the high-paying union jobs at companies like UPS that we’ve relied on may be slipping away. Many of Amazon’s best roles will go to relocated staff, leaving locals with entry-level positions. Is this really a win for Paducah, or are we trading quality jobs for quick numbers?
