I got an e-mail from friend of the blog Marshall Manson of Edelman yesterday letting me know that 36 new Wal-Mart stores enjoyed their grand opening yesterday.
One of those stores I knew about, Niles second Wal-Mart, pictured here, conveniently located just a few blocks from my office.
According to Wal-Mart, those new stores will create:
8,600 new jobs, employing a total of 13,400. Over 54,000 applications were received for these positions.
And it's this type of company the unions are trying to keep out of the inner-city.
