Of course some firms wither—Reynolds Tobacco's workforce shrank by nine-tenths between 1980 and 2002—but others grow: Wal-Mart's by 4,700%. During the 1990s, about a quarter of all American businesses shed jobs in a typical three-month period, equivalent to 8m jobs. Yet jobs created greatly outnumbered these, to the tune of 24m over the decade.

Oh yes, Wal-mart, the great jobs provider. They are bragging about jobs created by Wal-Mart.

If you work at Wal-Mart one of the few places you can afford to shop is Wal-Mart.

what's wrong with Wal-Mart? you know they have jobs at the corporate office that pay a bit more than $6 per hour.
