The "rock-bottom" pricing strategy used by retail giant Wal-Mart has
filtered into the US economy and kept a lid on inflation, according to
a study commissioned by the company and released.
Gosharoonie, what a surprise!


Did the following surprise you too?

"The researchers concluded that Wal-Mart had a positive impact on US
employment, generating 210,000 jobs by 2004, or 0.15 percent more that
would
have existed without Wal-Mart."




In a study sponsored by Wal-Mart?
No.
210,000 crappy jobs, just like the Bush Administration wants.


Perhaps those jobs are being filled by retirees wanting to do
something.........or perhaps by folks who never bothered to learn a trade or
continue their education.

No one forces them to work at Walmart.
