"VF Corp, the holding company for popular outdoor brands such as The North Face, JanSport and Smartwool, announced Monday it will move its global headquarters to Denver, bringing 800 high-paying jobs ..."


This will do nothing more than continue to shift demographics farther to the left. I fail to see how 800 jobs paying an average of $180,000 will do anything other than continue to drive housing cost up.

Maybe they'll be hunters?

Yeah, hunting for their identity.

I don't care much for NorthFace or JanSport, but my experience with SmartWool socks and base layers has been nothing short of excellent.

An average of $180K across 800 jobs seems exceptionally high to me... I guess what i already thought about overpaying for those products is true though....

I couldn't read the article because I'm not a DP subscriber. It's not like they're importing 800 people though. I'd guess a majority of the folks they're hiring already live here, don't think they'll suddenly become transformed into different, more douchey, people after taking the job. $180k a year does seem like a high average but it's their HQ and I assume there are some pretty high level execs in that bunch. Guess it doesn't hurt to apply to one of those jobs though if they're really paying that much. My overall feelings about it add up to a tepid MEH.

According to the above article, it isn't the outdoorsy types we should be worried about. It's the museum and theater goers.
