Wal-Mart to add 22,000 jobs in U.S.

I dont think this is the stuff of recovery either. Its a start but we have a long way to go before genuine asset appreciation should occur.

BENTONVILLE, Arkansas (Reuters) – Discounter Wal-Mart Stores Inc says it will add more than 22,000 jobs in its U.S. namesake stores in 2009.

The forecast points to lower growth compared with last year, as the world’s biggest retailer opens fewer of its U.S. Wal-Mart discount stores to focus on expansions and renovations.

Wal-Mart said the new positions will be in all levels of retail operation, including cashiers sales, store management to pharmacists and other positions.

Benefits, including affordable health plans that offer customized health coverage options, will be available to full- and part-time associates, the company said.
