Amazon is setting hiring records amid the pandemic \u2014 but New Yorkers are missing out, thanks to leftists like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.<\/p>\n

Between January and October, the online retailer added 427,300 employees, reports The New York Times<\/a>. That\u2019s an average of about 1,400 a day \u2014 but since July the pace has been 2,800 new hires daily.<\/p>\n

The company\u2019s \u201chiring like mad,\u201d marvels labor historian Nelson Lichtenstein. \u201cNo American company has hired so many workers so quickly.\u201d Indeed, its growth this year blows away Walmart\u2019s record hiring of 230,000 two decades ago.<\/p>\n

Plus, Amazon offered $3,000 signing fees. And the pay itself isn\u2019t bad: 85 percent of its 810,000 US workers get a minimum of $15 an hour. The retailer is now handing out $300 bonuses to full-timers as well.<\/p>\n

New York City could sure use an employer like that right now, as the city faces 13.2 percent unemployment, almost twice the nation\u2019s 6.9 percent rate. Yet radicals like AOC drove Amazon to ditch plans last year for a new headquarters in Queens \u2014 costing the city 25,000 jobs then, and who knows how many more during this unprecedented boom.<\/p>\n

Major unions and far-left politicians united in venom against Gov. Cuomo\u2019s deal to welcome the company. \u201cA number of state and local politicians have made it clear that they oppose our presence and will not work with us,\u201d Amazon noted dryly.<\/p>\n

AOC cheered: \u201cDedicated, everyday New Yorkers & their neighbors defeated Amazon\u2019s corporate greed, its worker exploitation and the power of the richest man in the world,\u201d she crowed on Twitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Hmm: How many out-of-work New Yorkers would agree with her about that today?<\/p>\n

It brings to mind the 2009 killing of the project for a mall at the long-vacant Kingsbridge Armory. The executioner, Bronx beep Rub\u00e9n Di\u00e1z Jr., huffed that the idea that \u201cany job is better than no job no longer app<\/a>lies.\u201d That killed 1,200 job opportunities \u2014 and the armory\u2019s still empty.<\/p>\n

If New Yorkers don\u2019t start rejecting this toxic political culture, the whole city will wind up vacant.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
